Fitment Information: This clutch kit fits 2006 - 2017 Subaru WRX, 2005 - 2012 Subaru Legacy GT and Legacy GT Spec B, 2005 - 2009 Subaru Outback XT, and 2006 - 2008 Subaru Forester XT. Note that starting from mid - 2018MY production with VIN J*806877, Subaru incorporated 240mm clutch components, and ACT clutch kits and flywheels aren't compatible with these revised OEM parts. Features: The ACT SB5 - HDR6 kit comes with a rigid 6 - pad race clutch disc and a well - loved Heavy Duty pressure plate. You'll experience a light to moderate pedal feel, aggressive engagement, and it can handle up to 535ft/lbs of torque. This kit is ideal for race cars only. The ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design. It increases clamp load, reduces deflection, and maximizes clutch life. The diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process for top - notch performance. The pressure plates have precision cover stampings for rigidity and consistency. The 6 - pad rigid race discs are made of high - quality ceramic friction materials. The chrome - moly hub is heat - treated for strength and durability. The lightweight and rigid design enables quicker shifts and smooth service. With the 6 - pad disc, engagement is harsher but shifting is faster, and it's recommended for larger clutch sizes to absorb more heat. Product Details: Feel: Light to moderate pedal effort, aggressive engagement, and increased gear rattle. Recommended Use: For race use only. Torque Capacity: 535 ft/lbs. ACT Difference: 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer - balanced for smooth high RPM reliability. What's Included: A 6 - Pad Rigid Race Disc, a Heavy Duty Pressure Plate, an Alignment Tool, and a Pilot Bearing.
Using your ACT Heavy Duty Clutch Kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is in the models and years this kit is designed for. Install the included 6 - Pad Rigid Race Disc, Heavy Duty Pressure Plate, Alignment Tool, and Pilot Bearing following standard automotive installation procedures. If you're not experienced with car repairs, it's best to have a professional do the installation. When driving, expect a light to moderate pedal effort and an aggressive engagement. Keep in mind that this clutch kit is for race use only, so it's not suitable for regular daily commuting. You may notice increased gear rattle, which is normal for this type of high - performance clutch. As for maintenance, check the clutch components regularly for wear and tear. The ACT pressure plates and discs are built to last, but over time, the friction materials on the disc will wear down. If you notice a decrease in performance, like slipping or difficulty shifting, it's time to have the clutch inspected. Also, make sure to follow the general maintenance schedule for your vehicle, as a well - maintained engine and transmission will help your clutch perform at its best.
