ACT AR1-XTR6 XT/Race Rigid 6-Pad Clutch Kit for Acura RSX, TSX and Honda Civic

AR1-XTR6 kit features an Xtreme pressure plate for the most demanding driver. ACT Xtreme 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 6-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 6-pad rigid race disc, engagement is harsher, but shifting is faster. The 6-pad rigid race disc is recommended for larger clutch sizes to absorb more heat. XT/Race Rigid 6 Pad Moderate to heavy pedal effort, aggressive engagement, increased gear rattle; Moderate friction life, extended by ACT's exclusive diaphragm design, rigid design may increase spline wear; Carefully engineered, precisely assembled, accurately balanced, uses select ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance and maximum performance; Recommended for race use only; 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability

• "Excellence in Performance", backed by the best one-year warranty in the industry!

The ACT AR1-XTR6 XT/Race Rigid 6-Pad Clutch Kit is engineered for demanding drivers and race-focused applications requiring high clamp load, rapid shifting and reliable high-temperature performance. The kit combines an Xtreme pressure plate with a rigid, ceramic 6-pad race disc designed to handle the heat generated by larger clutch systems. Its aggressive engagement provides faster shifts, though it may increase drivetrain noise and gear rattle compared with a street-oriented clutch.

ACT’s exclusive diaphragm design increases clamp load, reduces deflection and helps maximize clutch life. Each diaphragm undergoes a four-stage heat-treating process, while precision pressure-plate cover stampings provide rigidity and consistent operation. The race disc uses select ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance, and its heat-treated chrome-moly hub is built for strength and durability. The lightweight, rigid construction supports quick shifting and dependable operation at high engine speeds.

This ACT clutch kit is recommended for race use only. The rigid disc may increase spline wear, and its moderate-to-heavy pedal effort and aggressive engagement are best suited to performance vehicles and experienced drivers. Every pressure plate is clamp-load tested and the assembly is dynamically computer balanced for smooth, reliable high-RPM operation. The kit fits the 2002–2006 Acura RSX, 2004–2008 Acura TSX and select 2002–2006 Honda Civic applications; verify exact vehicle, transmission and engine compatibility before installation. ACT backs the AR1-XTR6 with a one-year warranty.
