Construction & Design:
The ACT Sport/Race clutch kit is meticulously engineered using premium materials and advanced manufacturing processes. The pressure plate features an exclusive diaphragm spring design that increases clamp load while minimizing deflection, which helps extend the life of the clutch components. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment to ensure maximum durability and consistent performance under extreme conditions.
The 6-pad rigid race disc is crafted from select ceramic friction materials known for their high heat resistance and friction stability. Its chrome-moly hub is heat-treated to withstand the stresses of aggressive driving and racing environments. The overall lightweight yet rigid construction reduces rotational mass, allowing for faster engine response and smoother gear changes.
Performance & Sound
The engagement of the 6-pad rigid race disc is notably more aggressive compared to stock clutches, resulting in quicker and more precise shifts. This harsher engagement is ideal for performance driving but may increase gear rattle and spline wear over time. The clutch’s design prioritizes heat absorption and durability, making it suitable for high-demand applications such as track days and spirited street driving.
Installation & Fitment:
This clutch kit is a direct fit replacement for 2004 to 2006 Scion xA and xB models, designed to integrate seamlessly with the factory transmission setup. Installation typically requires standard clutch replacement procedures without the need for major modifications. However, due to the aggressive nature of the clutch engagement, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper adjustment and optimal performance.
What's Included:
- Sport pressure plate with exclusive diaphragm spring
- 6-pad rigid race ceramic friction disc with chrome-moly hub
- Installation hardware as required
Ideal For:
This ACT Sport/Race clutch kit is perfect for Scion xA and xB owners who participate in light to moderate racing, autocross, or aggressive street driving. It suits enthusiasts looking for a clutch that offers faster shifts, increased clamp load, and improved heat tolerance without sacrificing reliability. Due to its aggressive engagement, it is best suited for drivers comfortable with a firmer pedal feel and occasional gear rattle.
