Construction & Design:
ACT’s manufacturing process begins with new, precision-engineered components rather than rebuilt parts, ensuring optimal quality and performance. The heavy-duty pressure plate features a diaphragm spring that undergoes an exclusive three-stage heat treatment, increasing strength and resistance to fatigue. The release bearing contact area is hardened to reduce wear, contributing to longer service life.
The 6-puck solid hub disc is constructed from copper ceramic material, which absorbs approximately 28% more heat than traditional 4-puck designs. This material choice enhances durability and allows for faster, more positive shifts. The solid hub design reduces inertia, improving throttle response, although it may result in some clutch chatter and slightly shortened spline life compared to sprung hub discs.
Performance & Sound
The ACT 6-Puck Clutch Kit offers a more aggressive engagement than stock clutches, providing quicker shifts and a more direct connection to the drivetrain. While the engagement is firm, it remains manageable for daily driving. The solid hub disc design contributes to a noticeable reduction in drivetrain lash and improved throttle response, making it well-suited for performance-oriented drivers. Some chatter may be present during engagement, which is typical for this style of clutch and indicative of its race-inspired design.
Installation & Fitment:
This clutch kit is a direct fit for 2008–2015 Scion xB2 and Scion tC models, designed to replace the factory clutch assembly without requiring modifications. The kit includes all necessary components for installation, including the throwout bearing, pilot bushing, and alignment tool, simplifying the installation process. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper clutch adjustment and optimal performance.
