Fitment: This clutch kit fits 2002 - 2005 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2005 Subaru Forester XT, and 2004 - 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo. Features: ACT's SB9 - HDG6 kit combines a sprung 6 - pad race clutch disc with a popular Heavy Duty pressure plate. You'll enjoy a light to moderate pedal feel, aggressive engagement, and it can handle up to 555 ft/lbs of torque. Ideal for high - horsepower street cars or race use. The Heavy Duty pressure plate uses an exclusive diaphragm design to boost clamp load, reduce deflection, and extend clutch life. All diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process for top - notch performance. The pressure plates have precision cover stampings for rigidity. The 6 - pad spring - centered race disc dampens torsional vibrations and resists failure in tough conditions. Its spring retainers offer strong support and reliability. With this disc, engagement is harsher but shifting is faster, and it's great for larger clutch sizes to absorb heat. The Monoloc is a one - piece replacement for the standard two - piece in pull - type clutches. Its spring tension is carefully calculated for optimal performance, ensuring proper alignment. Made of hardened Chrome - moly steel, it lasts for years. Feel: Light to moderate pedal effort, aggressive engagement, some mild gear rattle like OE, and confidence in hard shifts. Recommended Use: Best for high - horsepower street or race use. Torque Capacity: 555 ft/lbs. ACT Difference: 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability, includes ACT's patented Monoloc. What's Included: 6 Pad Sprung Race Disc, Heavy Duty Pressure Plate, Alignment Tool, Pilot Bearing, Release Bearing.
Using this clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is the right fit - it's for 2002 - 2005 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2005 Subaru Forester XT, and 2004 - 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo. When installing, use the included alignment tool, pilot bearing, and release bearing. The Heavy Duty Pressure Plate and 6 Pad Sprung Race Disc are the main parts. During use, expect a light to moderate pedal effort and aggressive engagement. If you notice some mild gear rattle, that's normal, similar to the original equipment. This kit is perfect for high - horsepower street driving or racing. When shifting, you'll find it faster, especially in high - performance situations. For maintenance, keep an eye on the clutch performance. If you feel a change in the pedal feel or engagement, it might be time for a check. The Monoloc is made to last, but over time, make sure it's still in good condition. Since the pressure plate and disc are designed for tough use, they should serve you well for a long time, but regular checks are always a good idea to ensure smooth and reliable performance.
