This ACT clutch kit (SB9 - XTR6) is a perfect fit for 2002 - 2005 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2005 Subaru Forester XT, and 2004 - 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo. It features a rigid 6 - pad race clutch disc paired with a popular Xtreme pressure plate. You'll experience moderate to heavy pedal effort, an aggressive engagement, and it can handle up to 654 ft/lbs of torque, making it ideal for race use only. The ACT Xtreme pressure plate uses 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 precision cover stampings ensure rigidity and consistency. The 6 - pad rigid race discs are made of high - quality ceramic friction materials. The heat - treated chrome - moly hub offers strength and durability. Its lightweight and rigid design enables quicker shifts and smooth service. The engagement is harsher but shifting is faster with the 6 - pad disc, which is great for larger clutch sizes to absorb heat. The Monoloc, a one - piece replacement for the standard two - piece in pull - type clutches, has a carefully calculated spring tension for optimal performance. It provides uniform loading and proper alignment. The hardened chrome - moly steel construction will last for years. The kit includes a 6 - pad rigid race disc, an Xtreme pressure plate, an alignment tool, a pilot bearing, and a release bearing. It's 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high - RPM reliability, and comes with ACT's patented Monoloc.
Using this ACT clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is the right model - 2002 - 2005 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2005 Subaru Forester XT, or 2004 - 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo. Install the included 6 - pad rigid race disc, Xtreme pressure plate, alignment tool, pilot bearing, and release bearing according to the standard installation procedures. Since this clutch kit is designed for race use only, don't use it for regular daily driving. When you're driving, expect a moderate to heavy pedal effort and an aggressive engagement. There might be increased gear rattle, but you'll have more confidence during hard shifts. For maintenance, keep an eye on the clutch components regularly. Check for any signs of wear or damage, especially on the friction materials of the 6 - pad disc and the diaphragm of the pressure plate. If you notice any issues, it's best to have a professional mechanic take a look. This way, your clutch kit will serve you well for a long time.
