Construction & Design:
ACT’s commitment to quality begins with brand-new pressure plates, not rebuilt units, ensuring maximum reliability. The heavy duty pressure plate features a specially engineered diaphragm spring that undergoes a proprietary three-stage heat treatment process to enhance strength and durability. The release bearing contact area is hardened to minimize wear and maintain consistent clutch engagement over time.
The 6-puck solid hub disc is crafted from copper ceramic material, which offers excellent heat absorption and resistance, allowing the clutch to handle increased torque loads without fading. This design also provides a more aggressive engagement characteristic, ideal for performance driving, while maintaining good durability. The solid hub construction reduces rotational mass, resulting in quicker throttle response and faster shifts.
Performance & Sound
The ACT 6-Puck Clutch Kit delivers a noticeably firmer and more immediate clutch engagement compared to stock setups, enhancing driver control during aggressive acceleration and gear changes. While engagement is more assertive, pedal effort remains manageable for street use. The solid hub disc design may introduce some chatter under certain conditions, a common trait in performance clutches, but this trade-off is balanced by improved shift precision and torque handling.
Installation & Fitment:
This clutch kit is a direct fit for 2006 to 2010 Scion tC and Scion xB2 models, designed to replace the factory clutch components without requiring modifications. Installation is straightforward for experienced mechanics and includes all necessary hardware and tools to facilitate proper alignment and assembly. The kit’s comprehensive components help ensure a smooth installation process and reliable operation.
