Construction & Design:
The ACT Sport/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit is meticulously engineered with high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes. The pressure plate features a unique diaphragm spring design that increases clamp load while minimizing deflection, which translates to longer clutch life and more consistent engagement. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment to enhance durability under extreme conditions.
The 6-pad race disc incorporates a spring-centered design that effectively dampens torsional vibrations, reducing stress on drivetrain components and improving reliability. ACT’s spring retainers are reinforced with wraparound spring windows and thicker stampings to prevent spring fatigue and failure, ensuring the clutch performs reliably even in demanding environments.
Performance & Sound
This clutch kit delivers a more aggressive engagement compared to OEM units, resulting in quicker, more precise shifts. While the engagement is harsher, pedal effort remains light to moderate, making it suitable for both street and race use. The ceramic friction material provides excellent heat resistance, allowing the clutch to maintain performance under sustained high-load conditions. Expect mild gear rattle typical of sport/race clutches, which is a normal characteristic of this performance level.
Installation & Fitment:
The ACT Sport/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit is a direct fit replacement for 2004–2006 Scion xA and xB models. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and is best performed by a professional or experienced enthusiast. No major modifications are necessary, but proper alignment and break-in are essential to maximize clutch life and performance.
