Construction & Design:
The ACT 6-Puck Xtreme Clutch Kit features a heavy-duty pressure plate constructed with a proprietary diaphragm spring design. This design undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process to maximize clamp load and minimize deflection, resulting in improved clutch life and consistent performance under extreme conditions. The pressure plate’s precision cover stampings add structural rigidity, ensuring reliable operation even during aggressive driving.
The 6-puck sprung disc is crafted with high-quality copper ceramic friction material, which holds approximately 28% more torque than standard organic discs. Its solid chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for enhanced strength and durability, providing a rigid yet lightweight design that facilitates quicker shifts and smooth engagement. The sprung hub design helps absorb drivetrain vibrations, reducing gear rattle and improving overall drivability.
Performance & Sound
The 6-puck rigid race disc delivers a harsher engagement compared to organic clutches, offering faster and more precise shifts favored in performance and racing environments. The solid hub design is highly durable and resistant to heat, making it ideal for absorbing the increased thermal loads generated during spirited driving or track sessions. Pedal effort is moderate to stiff, providing excellent feedback and control for the demanding driver.
Installation & Fitment:
This clutch kit is designed as a direct replacement for the factory clutch on 2008–2015 Scion xB2 and Scion tC models, requiring no major modifications for installation. The kit includes all necessary components such as the throwout bearing, pilot bushing, and alignment tool to facilitate a smooth and accurate installation process. Professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
What's Included:
- ACT 6-Puck (Solid Hub) Sprung Disc
