Key Features:

Built with precision and durability in mind, the ACT HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit includes several advanced features:

• Heavy Duty pressure plate with exclusive diaphragm design for increased clamp load and reduced deflection
• Four-stage heat-treated diaphragms for superior strength and longevity
• Precision cover stampings to enhance rigidity and consistency
• 6-pad spring-centered race disc to dampen torsional vibrations and resist failure under harsh conditions
• Wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings for improved spring support and reliability
• Ceramic disc material for high heat tolerance and maximum friction performance
• Torque capacity of 595 ft-lbs, providing an 88% increase over the original equipment clutch
• 9.4-inch (240 mm) clutch disc diameter optimized for larger clutch sizes and heat absorption
• Light to moderate pedal effort with aggressive engagement for faster shifting
• 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth operation at high RPM

Construction & Design:

The ACT HD/Race Sprung clutch kit is meticulously engineered using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes. The heavy duty pressure plate features a unique diaphragm spring design that increases clamp load while minimizing deflection, which translates to longer clutch life and improved pedal feel. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment to ensure consistent performance under extreme heat and stress.

The 6-pad sprung race disc incorporates a spring-centered design that effectively dampens torsional vibrations, reducing the risk of premature failure during aggressive driving. The ceramic friction material on the disc is selected for its excellent heat resistance and friction characteristics, making it suitable for both street and light track use. Additionally, the clutch components are precision balanced to maintain smooth engagement and reduce drivetrain vibrations.

Installation & Fitment:

This clutch kit is a direct fit replacement for the 2003–2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4, designed to install with minimal modifications. It is compatible with the factory input shaft diameter of 0.9375 inches and maintains OE-style pedal effort for comfortable daily driving. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper clutch alignment and optimal performance. The kit is ideal for enthusiasts upgrading from stock or mild performance clutches seeking enhanced durability and torque capacity.
