Construction & Design:
ACT’s Modified Street Clutch Kit is built using new, high-quality components rather than rebuilt parts, ensuring superior reliability and longevity. The heavy duty pressure plate features a diaphragm spring that undergoes an exclusive three-stage heat treatment process, which hardens the release bearing contact area to minimize wear and extend service life. This robust design increases clamping force by nearly 30%, allowing the clutch to handle more torque without slipping.
The organic sprung hub disc is engineered to absorb drivetrain vibrations and shocks, providing smoother engagement and reducing stress on transmission components. The friction material is carefully selected to balance durability with quiet operation, making it well-suited for street driving and occasional track sessions.
Installation & Fitment:
The ACT Modified Street Clutch Kit is a direct fit replacement for the 2011–2016 Scion tC2 models. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and no modifications to the vehicle’s transmission or drivetrain. Note that the throwout bearing is not included for 2011 and newer models, as it is integrated with the slave cylinder assembly and should be sourced separately.
For best results, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper alignment and clutch engagement. ACT includes an alignment tool with the kit to facilitate accurate installation.
