The ACT Streetlite flywheel offers the following benefits:

Noticeably improved engine response and acceleration: Experience a significant boost in engine performance and acceleration with this component. OE to mild gear rattle: Expect only minimal gear rattle, from Original Equipment (OE) standards to a mild level, ensuring a smoother drive. Heat-treated forging for strength and toughness: Crafted using heat-treated forging, this part guarantees enhanced strength and durability. Induction-hardened ring gears for maximum life: The ring gears undergo induction hardening, providing maximum lifespan and reliability. One-piece construction allows less opportunity for failure and provides uniform efficient heat transfer from the clutch disc: The one-piece design reduces potential failure points and ensures uniform and efficient heat transfer from the clutch disc, preventing issues like warped inserts or loose ring gears. Recommended for street and race use: This component is ideal for both everyday street driving and competitive racing environments.

Forged, CNC machined, and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability: Expertly forged, CNC machined, and dynamically balanced via computer to ensure smooth and reliable performance at high RPMs.

Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT) designs, engineers and develops products by leveraging decades of track and performance street experience. Advanced CAD, FEA simulation, and CAM tools help ensure highly optimized performance, reliability, and repeatability. These key advantages are produced by combining the best engineering and design methodologies with the latest in materials and manufacturing techniques.

ACT clutch kits stand unequaled in terms of consistent pedal feel, high torque capacity, long wear life and durability. In-house manufacturing is critical in tuning components specifically to each individual application while maintaining the predictable ACT pedal feel across the entire catalog.

This clutch kit features a Heavy Duty pressure plate and a Performance Street Rigid clutch disc.

The heavy duty pressure plate included offers a 20-50% clamp load increase, stock-moderate  pedal feel, and heat treated diaphragms for increased strength and performance.

Next in this kit is the Performance Street Rigid clutch disc. This disc is an unsprung, rigid disk that is suited for aggressive street and moderate racing applications. The disc pad features high quality organic friction material with a high copper content for improved heat transfer and a steel backed lining for increased strength in burst load circumstances. This organic clutch disc has a significantly higher torque capacity than a stock disc but due to its rigid nature, may suffer from slightly increased spline wear over time.

Clutch Kit Specs:

• Torque Rating: 440 ft/lbs
• 45% torque capacity increase over stock!
• Type of Disc: Street
• 26-count spline
• Spline Size: 1-3/8" inch
• Disc Weight: 2.3 lbs
• Pressure Plate Weight: 10.2 lbs
• 1 year Warranty from retail purchase date!

This clutch kit features a Heavy Duty pressure plate, a Performance Street sprung clutch disc, and an XACT Streetlite Flywheel.

The heavy duty pressure plate included offers a 20-50% clamp load increase, stock-moderate  pedal feel, and heat treated diaphragms for increased strength and performance.

Next in this kit is the R6 racing clutch disc. This disc is an unsprung, rigid disc with 6 pads that is best suited for drag and road racing and handles heat better thanks to its increased surface contact area versus the 4 pad version of this disc, the R4. The R6 pads are composed of ceramic friction materials and the disc has a chome-moly hub that is heat treated for additional strength under high load engagements. Over stock, this disc is much better for faster shifting and significantly higher torque loads. Unlike the stock disc, this racing disk has a slightly shortened life span due to its rigid design and pad composition. This in turn is offset thanks to its fast, aggressive engagement for track use.

The final main component is the XACT Streetlite Flywheel. This option is the most popular thanks to it versatility for street driving and drag/track style racing, its lighter weight for increased throttle response, and its single mass design.

Clutch Kit Specs:

• Torque Rating: 505 ft/lbs
• 83% torque capacity increase over stock!
• Type of Disc: Racing
• 10-count spline
• Spline Size: 1-1/8" inch
• Disc Weight: 2.4 lbs
• Pressure Plate Weight: 11.2 lbs
• Flywheel Weight: 15.9 lbs
• 1 year Warranty from retail purchase date!
