Key Features:

The ACT Race Rigid 4 Pad Clutch Kit incorporates advanced materials and design elements to maximize performance and reliability. Key features include:

• Exclusive Xtreme pressure plate with a unique diaphragm design for increased clamp load and reduced deflection
• Four-stage heat-treated diaphragms for enhanced durability and consistent performance under extreme conditions
• Precision cover stampings to improve rigidity and maintain consistent clamp force
• 4-pad rigid race disc constructed with high-quality ceramic friction materials for superior heat tolerance
• Heat-treated chrome-moly hub for increased strength and resistance to wear
• Lightweight, rigid disc design enabling quicker shifts and smooth engagement
• Moderate to heavy pedal effort with aggressive engagement suited for race environments
• Dynamic computer balancing and 100% clamp load testing for reliable high RPM operation
• Designed specifically for smaller disc sizes and engines, optimizing performance for the Scion tC

Construction & Design:

The ACT Race Rigid 4 Pad Clutch Kit is meticulously engineered using premium materials and advanced manufacturing processes. The pressure plate features a proprietary diaphragm design that undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment to ensure maximum clamp load capacity and longevity. This design minimizes deflection, which helps maintain consistent clutch engagement and reduces premature wear.

The clutch disc utilizes a rigid 4-pad layout with ceramic friction materials selected for their high heat tolerance and durability. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated to enhance strength and resist spline wear, ensuring the clutch withstands the stresses of aggressive driving. The overall lightweight and rigid construction contribute to faster shifts and improved throttle response.

Performance & Sound

This clutch kit delivers a more direct and aggressive engagement compared to stock units, resulting in faster and more precise shifts. The rigid 4-pad disc design produces a harsher engagement feel and increased gear rattle, characteristics favored in race settings where performance takes priority over comfort. The ceramic friction material maintains consistent grip under high temperatures, reducing fade during extended spirited driving or track sessions.

Installation & Fitment:

The ACT Race Rigid 4 Pad Clutch Kit is a direct fit replacement designed specifically for the 2005–2006 Scion tC. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and may be best performed by a professional or experienced enthusiast. Due to the aggressive nature of the clutch, some drivability changes such as heavier pedal effort and increased noise are expected. No major modifications are necessary for proper fitment.

What's Included:

• Xtreme pressure plate with exclusive diaphragm design
• 4-pad rigid race ceramic friction clutch disc
• Heat-treated chrome-moly hub
• Installation hardware (as applicable)
• Comprehensive one-year warranty documentation

Ideal For:

This clutch kit is ideal for Scion tC owners who participate in racing, autocross, or aggressive street driving and require a clutch system capable of handling increased power and heat without sacrificing shift speed. It is best suited for drivers comfortable with a more aggressive pedal feel and engagement characteristics, prioritizing performance and durability over everyday comfort.

ACT (Advanced Clutch Technology) engineers performance clutches and flywheels built for consistent engagement, higher torque capacity, and durability in street and race use.
