Construction & Design:
The ACT 6-Puck Clutch Kit is built from new, high-quality components rather than rebuilt parts, ensuring maximum reliability. The heavy-duty pressure plate features a specially engineered diaphragm spring that is heat-treated through a proprietary three-stage process to enhance strength and longevity. The release bearing contact area is hardened to minimize wear and extend service life.
The 6-puck sprung hub disc is constructed from copper ceramic material, which absorbs approximately 28% more heat than standard discs, improving thermal management during aggressive driving. The sprung hub design reduces driveline shock and vibration, contributing to smoother engagement and quieter operation while maintaining excellent durability and spline life.
Performance & Sound
The rigid 6-puck disc design ensures quick, positive engagement for confident shifting under high torque loads. The sprung hub helps to smooth out engagement, reducing harshness and driveline shock commonly associated with solid disc clutches. This results in a clutch feel that is responsive yet manageable, making it suitable for both spirited street driving and track use. The copper ceramic friction material also contributes to consistent performance by efficiently dissipating heat during demanding conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
The ACT 6-Puck Clutch Kit is a direct fit replacement for the 2011–2016 Scion tC2 models. Installation requires removal of the transmission and clutch assembly, and while the kit includes an alignment tool for ease of installation, the throwout bearing and slave cylinder assembly are not included and must be sourced separately for 2011 and newer models. No modifications to the vehicle are necessary, making this an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking a reliable, bolt-on performance clutch.
What's Included:
- ACT 6-Puck Sprung Hub Disc
- ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate
- ACT Clutch Alignment Tool
Ideal For:
This clutch kit is perfect for Scion tC2 owners who demand increased torque capacity and durability from their clutch system without sacrificing drivability.
