Construction & Design:
The ACT 6-Puck Xtreme Clutch Kit features a robust construction designed to withstand the rigors of high-performance driving. The Xtreme pressure plate utilizes a unique diaphragm spring that undergoes a four-stage heat-treating process, enhancing clamp load capacity while minimizing deflection. This results in a more consistent pedal feel and extended clutch life.
The 6-puck disc employs a solid hub design crafted from heat-treated chrome-moly steel, providing exceptional strength and durability. Its copper ceramic friction material offers approximately 28% more torque holding capacity compared to standard organic discs, while efficiently dissipating heat to prevent fade during intense driving conditions. The rigid disc design promotes faster, more precise shifts, though it produces a harsher engagement suited for experienced drivers and race environments.
Performance & Sound
The ACT 6-Puck Xtreme Clutch Kit delivers aggressive engagement with a moderate to stiff pedal feel, making it ideal for drivers who prioritize quick, sure shifts and maximum torque transfer. The solid hub 6-puck disc design contributes to increased gear rattle and a more pronounced clutch engagement sound, characteristics often favored in motorsport settings. This clutch kit is engineered to absorb more heat, reducing the risk of fade and maintaining consistent performance under demanding conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
This clutch kit is a direct fit for the 2011–2016 Scion tC2 and requires no modifications for installation. The kit includes an alignment tool to facilitate precise clutch disc positioning during assembly. Note that the throwout bearing is not included for 2011 and newer models, as it is integrated with the slave cylinder assembly and must be sourced separately. Installation should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
What's Included:
- ACT 6-Puck (Solid Hub) Clutch Disc
- ACT Xtreme Heavy Duty Pressure Plate
- ACT Clutch Alignment Tool
Ideal For:
This clutch kit is ideal for performance enthusiasts and racers driving a 2011–2016 Scion tC2 who require a high-torque capacity clutch with aggressive engagement characteristics.
