Construction & Design

The ACT HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit is crafted with meticulous attention to materials and engineering. The pressure plate features a unique diaphragm spring design that increases clamp load while minimizing deflection, which translates to improved pedal feel and longer service life. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat treatment process to ensure maximum strength and resistance to thermal fatigue.

The 6 pad race disc incorporates a robust spring center section that effectively absorbs shock from sudden torque spikes, protecting the drivetrain components. The ceramic friction material is selected for its ability to maintain consistent friction levels under extreme heat, providing reliable power transfer without premature wear. The pressure plate cover is precision stamped for structural integrity, while the castings are machined to optimize heat dissipation during demanding use.
