This ACT clutch kit (SB9 - XTSS) is a perfect fit for 2002 - 2005 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2005 Subaru Forester XT, and 2004 - 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo. It combines a sprung street - performance clutch disc with a popular Xtreme pressure plate. You'll experience a moderate to heavy pedal effort, but with smooth and positive engagement. It can handle up to 511 ft/lbs of torque, making it ideal for both street and race use. The ACT Xtreme pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design. They go through a four - stage heat - treating process, increasing clamp load, reducing deflection, and maximizing clutch life. The precision cover stampings ensure rigidity and consistency. The performance street discs are top - sellers. They feature premium organic materials with more copper for better heat transfer and steel - backed lining for strength and durability. They have a reduced marcel for faster shifts and quiet operation. The Monoloc, a one - piece upgrade, replaces the standard two - piece in pull - type clutches. Its spring tension is carefully calculated for optimal performance, providing uniform loading and proper alignment. The hardened chrome - moly steel construction will serve you for years. Included in the kit are a performance sprung street disc, an Xtreme pressure plate, an alignment tool, a pilot bearing, and a release bearing.
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). Before installation, check all the parts in the kit - the performance sprung street disc, Xtreme pressure plate, alignment tool, pilot bearing, and release bearing - to ensure nothing is damaged. When installing, use the alignment tool to get everything in the right position. Be aware that you'll feel a moderate to heavy pedal effort, but it's normal for this high - performance clutch. For daily use on the street or during races, this clutch can handle up to 511 ft/lbs of torque. To keep it in good condition, avoid sudden and aggressive clutch engagement as much as possible. Regularly check the clutch components for any signs of wear. If you notice unusual noises or a change in the pedal feel, it might be time to have it inspected. With proper use and maintenance, this clutch kit will last you a long time.
