What is the engagement like with this clutch kit?

The 4-pad rigid race disc has a harsher engagement compared to a stock clutch. This is typical for performance clutch setups focused on faster shifting.

What makes the ACT pressure plate different?

ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design that increases clamp load and reduces deflection. The diaphragms are also put through a four-stage heat-treating process for better performance and longer life.

Does this clutch kit come with everything needed for installation?

Product Details

AA1-HDR4 kit features ACT's most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate. ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection and maximize clutch life. All diaphragms endure a four-stage, heat-treating process for unparalleled performance. ACT pressure plates have precision cover stampings to provide rigidity and consistency. ACT's 4-pad rigid race discs are made with high quality, ceramic friction materials. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for strength and durability. The lightweight, rigid design allows for quicker shifts and smooth, trouble-free service. With the 4-pad rigid race disc, engagement is harsher, but shifting is faster. The 4-pad rigid race disc is well-suited for the smaller disc sizes in smaller engines.
