Overview:

The ACT Heavy Duty 4-Puck Race Clutch Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for the 2003 to 2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4. Engineered for serious enthusiasts and racers, this clutch kit delivers increased torque capacity and improved durability over the factory clutch. It features a solid hub 4-puck disc paired with a heavy duty pressure plate and a lightweight Prolite flywheel, providing faster shifts and a more aggressive engagement ideal for drag racing and road course applications.

This kit is perfect for drivers looking to handle increased power levels while maintaining a pedal feel that remains close to stock or moderately firm. The clutch’s design balances performance with reliability, making it a trusted choice for competitive driving environments.

Construction & Design:

The clutch kit features a heavy duty 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 quicker engine revving and faster shifts, which is critical in racing scenarios. The Prolite flywheel is crafted from lightweight materials to further reduce mass, enhancing throttle response and acceleration.

While the solid hub disc offers excellent torque capacity and shift speed, it is designed with a trade-off of slightly harsher engagement and potential chatter, which is typical for race-oriented clutches. The materials and engineering choices prioritize performance and durability for motorsport use.
