Construction & Design:

The ACT XT/Perf Street Rigid Clutch Kit features a meticulously engineered Xtreme pressure plate that utilizes a unique diaphragm spring design to deliver higher clamp loads while minimizing deflection. This results in improved clutch life and more consistent engagement under demanding conditions. The pressure plate undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process to ensure durability and performance stability.

The clutch disc is constructed with premium organic friction material enriched with high copper content, which enhances heat dissipation during aggressive driving. Backed by a steel lining, the disc resists bursting and wear, while the chrome-moly rigid hub is heat-treated to withstand high torque loads and maintain structural integrity. The lightweight design of the disc reduces rotational mass, contributing to faster throttle response and shift times.

This clutch kit is a direct fit replacement for the 2003–2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4, designed to work seamlessly with the factory flywheel or ACT’s Streetlite flywheel option. Installation requires standard clutch replacement procedures and may involve minor adjustments to accommodate the rigid hub design. The kit is engineered to provide a balance of street-friendly pedal effort with enhanced performance characteristics, making it suitable for both daily drivers and performance enthusiasts.
