Construction & Design:
The ACT 6-Puck XT clutch kit features a meticulously engineered Xtreme pressure plate that undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process to maximize clamp load and durability. The precision cover stampings add rigidity and consistency, reducing deflection under high stress. The 6-pad rigid race disc is crafted from premium copper ceramic friction material, which holds approximately 28% more torque and absorbs heat more effectively than standard materials.
The solid hub design, constructed from heat-treated chrome-moly steel, offers exceptional strength and resistance to heat-induced wear. This lightweight yet durable construction allows for faster shifts and reliable performance even in demanding racing environments.
Performance & Sound
The 6-puck rigid race disc provides a harsher engagement compared to stock clutches, delivering quick and sure shifts that enhance driver control. While pedal effort is moderate to stiff, the clutch’s aggressive engagement improves throttle response and power transfer. This setup is ideal for drivers who prioritize performance and precision over comfort, and it is especially suited for larger clutch sizes that need to absorb more heat during spirited driving or track use.
