ACT XT/Race Rigid 4 Pad Clutch Kit

2006–2010 Scion tC / 2008–2015 Scion xB (xB2)

TC7-XTR4

Overview:

The ACT XT/Race Rigid 4 Pad Clutch Kit is engineered for drivers who demand aggressive performance and durability from their clutch system. Designed specifically for the Scion tC (2006–2010) and Scion xB (2008–2015), this kit features ACT’s Xtreme pressure plate combined with a rigid 4-pad race disc to deliver faster shifts and enhanced clamp load. Ideal for race use, this clutch kit provides a harsher engagement and moderate to heavy pedal effort, making it perfect for enthusiasts seeking precise control and improved drivetrain response under demanding conditions.

Built to withstand high heat and stress, the XT/Race kit extends clutch life while maintaining consistent performance, ensuring reliability on the track or aggressive street driving. Its design balances durability with performance, offering a clutch solution that meets the needs of serious drivers looking to upgrade their factory clutch system.

Key Features:

This clutch kit incorporates advanced technology and materials to maximize performance and longevity:

• Exclusive diaphragm design in the Xtreme pressure plate increases clamp load and reduces deflection
• Four-stage heat-treated diaphragms for superior strength and durability
• Precision cover stampings enhance rigidity and consistency of the pressure plate
• 4-pad rigid race disc constructed with high-quality ceramic friction materials for excellent heat tolerance
• Heat-treated chrome-moly hub for enhanced strength and resistance to wear
• Lightweight, rigid disc design enables quicker shifts and smooth operation
• Engagement characterized by aggressive, faster shifting suited for smaller engine applications
• 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability
• Backed by ACT’s industry-leading one-year warranty

Construction & Design:

The ACT XT/Race kit is meticulously engineered with premium materials and precision manufacturing processes. The pressure plate features an exclusive diaphragm spring design that undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment, ensuring exceptional clamp load and minimal deflection under extreme conditions. This results in improved clutch life and consistent engagement.

The 4-pad rigid race disc utilizes select ceramic friction materials known for their high heat tolerance and durability, making it ideal for race environments. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated to resist wear and maintain strength, while the lightweight rigid design reduces rotational mass, contributing to faster throttle response and gear changes.

Performance & Sound

The XT/Race Rigid 4 Pad disc offers a more aggressive engagement compared to stock clutches, resulting in quicker, more precise shifts. While the engagement is harsher and pedal effort is moderate to heavy, this setup enhances driver control during spirited driving or racing scenarios. Expect increased gear rattle due to the rigid disc design, which is typical for race-oriented clutches but contributes to a more direct mechanical feel.

Installation & Fitment:

This clutch kit is designed as a direct fit for the Scion tC (model years 2006 through 2010) and Scion xB (model years 2008 through 2015, xB2 generation). Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and may necessitate professional installation to ensure proper alignment and engagement. No major modifications are typically needed, but due to the aggressive nature of the clutch, some drivability adjustments may be required.

What's Included:

• Xtreme pressure plate with exclusive diaphragm design
• 4-pad rigid race ceramic friction disc with chrome-moly hub
• Installation hardware (where applicable)
• Detailed installation instructions

Ideal For:

This clutch kit is ideal for performance enthusiasts and racers who demand aggressive clutch engagement and faster shifting in their Scion tC or xB. It suits drivers who regularly push their vehicles on the track or in high-performance street applications and are willing to accept a firmer pedal feel and increased gear rattle in exchange for enhanced clutch response and durability.

ACT (Advanced Clutch Technology) engineers performance clutches and flywheels built for consistent engagement, higher torque capacity, and durability in street and race use. The brand emphasizes quality and reliability and is widely used by enthusiasts who need driveline components that can handle repeated hard launches, shifts, and track abuse.
