Construction & Design:
The ACT Race Sprung 4 Pad Clutch Kit is built with precision and durability in mind. The Xtreme pressure plate utilizes a unique diaphragm spring that undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process, enhancing its strength and resistance to fatigue. This design increases clamp load while minimizing deflection, which translates to improved clutch life and consistent performance.
The 4-pad spring-centered race disc is engineered with wraparound spring windows and reinforced retainers to support the springs effectively, reducing stress concentrations and increasing reliability. The ceramic friction material selected for the disc offers excellent heat tolerance, ensuring the clutch can withstand the demands of aggressive driving without premature wear.
Performance & Sound
The 4-pad spring-centered race disc provides a harsher engagement compared to stock clutches, delivering quicker and more precise shifts. This design also helps dampen torsional vibrations, resulting in quieter operation and reduced gear rattle, even under heavy load. The clutch’s moderate to heavy pedal effort is well-suited for drivers seeking a direct and responsive feel without sacrificing drivability.
Installation & Fitment:
This clutch kit is a direct fit for the 2011–2016 Scion tC, designed to replace the factory clutch without requiring modifications. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with performance clutch systems to ensure proper alignment and engagement. The kit is engineered to maintain compatibility with the vehicle’s existing transmission and drivetrain components.
What's Included:
- Xtreme pressure plate with exclusive diaphragm design
- 4-pad spring-centered race disc with ceramic friction material
- Spring retainers with wraparound spring windows
- Installation hardware as required
Ideal For:
This clutch kit is ideal for Scion tC owners who demand enhanced performance from their vehicle’s drivetrain. It is perfectly suited for high horsepower street builds, track days, and moderate racing applications where aggressive engagement and durability are paramount. Enthusiasts looking for a reliable clutch that balances performance with longevity will find this ACT kit an excellent choice.
