Key Features:
Designed with performance and durability in mind, the ACT 6-Puck Clutch Kit includes several advanced features that set it apart from standard clutch kits:
- Torque capacity rated up to 400 ft/lbs, suitable for increased power applications
- 29% increase in clamping force for improved power transfer and reduced slippage
- Heavy Duty Pressure Plate engineered with a heat-treated, stronger diaphragm for enhanced durability
- 6-puck solid hub disc offering quick engagement and efficient heat dissipation
- Heat-treated release bearing contact area to reduce wear and extend service life
- Balanced and tested for consistent performance and reliability
- Includes ACT throwout bearing, pilot bushing, and alignment tool for a complete installation
- Pedal feel remains close to stock for comfortable daily driving
- Solid hub design reduces inertia for faster shifts and improved throttle response
Construction & Design:
The ACT 6-Puck Clutch Kit features a heavy duty pressure plate built from new, not rebuilt, components to ensure maximum reliability. The diaphragm spring is heat-treated through an exclusive three-stage process, enhancing strength and longevity. The pressure plate geometry is optimized to provide the ideal balance between clamping force and pedal effort, resulting in a clutch that is both strong and user-friendly.
The 6-puck solid hub disc is constructed to withstand higher torque loads while offering quick engagement and excellent heat dissipation. This design reduces rotational mass, allowing for faster engine response and smoother shifts. The solid hub also improves durability but may slightly reduce spline life compared to sprung hub designs.
Performance & Sound
The ACT 6-Puck Clutch Kit delivers a more aggressive engagement compared to the factory clutch, with some chatter typical of puck-style discs. This results in quicker, more precise shifts and improved throttle response, making it well-suited for performance driving. While the engagement is firmer, pedal effort remains manageable for daily use. The kit’s design also helps absorb and dissipate heat efficiently, reducing the risk of clutch fade during spirited driving.
Installation & Fitment:
This clutch kit is a direct fit replacement for the 2005 through August 2006 Scion tC models. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and does not typically require modifications to the transmission or drivetrain. The kit includes all necessary components such as the throwout bearing, pilot bushing, and alignment tool to facilitate a smooth and accurate installation process.
What's Included:
- ACT 6-Puck Solid Hub Disc
- ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate
- ACT Throwout Bearing
- ACT Pilot Bushing
- ACT Clutch Alignment Tool
Ideal For:
This clutch kit is ideal for Scion tC owners looking to upgrade their stock clutch for improved torque capacity and durability. It suits enthusiasts who engage in spirited street driving, mild performance modifications, or occasional track use. The ACT 6-Puck Clutch Kit offers a balance of aggressive engagement and daily drivability, making it a versatile choice for performance-minded drivers.
