Construction & Design:
ACT’s clutch kits are built from new, high-quality components rather than rebuilt parts, ensuring maximum reliability. The heavy-duty pressure plate features a heat-treated diaphragm spring that is engineered for optimal pressure and release travel, providing a consistent pedal feel close to stock. The diaphragm spring undergoes a unique 3-stage heat treatment process that enhances its strength and longevity.
The 6-puck sprung hub disc is constructed with copper ceramic friction material, which holds approximately 28% more torque than standard organic discs. Its sprung hub design reduces driveline shock and vibration, improving spline life and overall drivetrain smoothness. Every clutch kit is precision balanced and tested to meet ACT’s rigorous quality standards.
