DN4-XTR4

Overview:

The ACT 4-Puck Race Clutch Kit is a high-performance clutch upgrade designed specifically for the 2003 to 2005 Dodge Neon SRT4. Engineered for enthusiasts seeking enhanced torque capacity and quicker shifts, this kit is ideal for drag racing and road racing applications. It combines a solid hub 4-puck clutch disc with an extreme pressure plate and a lightweight Prolite flywheel to deliver aggressive engagement and improved drivetrain response.

This clutch kit is perfect for drivers who demand a balance between durability and performance, offering a significant increase in clamping force while maintaining a pedal feel that ranges from stock-like to moderately firm. It is a reliable choice for those pushing their Neon SRT4 to higher power levels and seeking faster, more precise shifts on the track.

Key Features:

The ACT 4-Puck Race Clutch Kit incorporates advanced technology and materials to optimize performance and durability. Key features include:

• Extreme Pressure Plate with a 20% to 50% increase in clamping load for superior torque handling
• Solid hub 4-puck clutch disc designed for fast, low-inertia shifts
• Torque capacity rated up to 602 lb-ft, suitable for high-power applications
• ACT XACT Prolite lightweight flywheel for reduced rotational mass and quicker engine response
• Pedal feel that balances stock comfort with performance engagement
• Recommended for drag racing and road racing environments
• Durable construction with good longevity, though spline life may be shortened due to solid hub design
• Harsh engagement and potential for chatter typical of race-oriented clutch setups
• Includes ACT throwout bearing, pilot bushing, and alignment tool for comprehensive installation

Construction & Design:

The clutch kit features a heavy-duty extreme pressure plate engineered to increase clamping force significantly, ensuring reliable power transfer under demanding conditions. The solid hub 4-puck disc design reduces rotational inertia, allowing for quicker engine revving and faster shifts. This design also enhances torque capacity but may result in a harsher engagement and increased drivetrain noise compared to organic or sprung hub discs.

The ACT XACT Prolite flywheel is crafted from lightweight materials to reduce overall mass, improving throttle response and acceleration. The kit’s components are precision-engineered to fit the Dodge Neon SRT4’s transmission system, providing a direct bolt-on upgrade that supports aggressive driving styles.

Installation & Fitment:

This clutch kit is a direct fit for 2003 to 2005 Dodge Neon SRT4 models and includes all necessary components for installation, such as the throwout bearing, pilot bushing, and alignment tool. While installation is straightforward for experienced mechanics, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper clutch engagement and optimal performance. Some modifications to driving style may be necessary due to the clutch’s more aggressive engagement and chatter characteristics.

What's Included:

• ACT 4-Puck Solid Hub Clutch Disc
• ACT Extreme Pressure Plate
• ACT XACT Prolite Flywheel
• ACT Throwout Bearing
• ACT Pilot Bushing
• ACT Alignment Tool

Ideal For:

This clutch kit is ideal for Dodge Neon SRT4 owners who participate in drag racing, road racing, or other high-performance driving activities. It suits enthusiasts upgrading their vehicle’s powertrain for increased torque capacity and faster shift times, while accepting a more aggressive pedal feel and engagement. It is less suited for daily drivers seeking smooth, quiet operation.
