ACT SB9-HDG6 Heavy-Duty 6-Pad Sprung Clutch Kit for Subaru Impreza, Legacy and Saab 9-2X

SB9-HDG6 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 6-pad spring-centered race disc features a spring-center construction to properly damp torsional vibrations and resist failure under harsh conditions. ACT spring retainers utilize wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings to provide spring support, reduce stress concentrations, and increase strength and reliability. With the 6-pad spring-centered race disc engagement is harsher, but shifting is faster. The 6-pad spring-centered disc is recommended for larger clutch sizes to absorb more heat. Monoloc is a one-piece, direct replacement or upgrade to the standard, two-piece wedge collar and wire ring featured in pull-type clutches. The spring tension of the segmented retaining ring is carefully calculated and tested for optimal performance. It provides uniform loading on the bearing and pressure plate to assure proper alignment, regardless of driver influence or vehicle modifications. Monoloc's hardened Chrome-moly steel construction will provide years of service. HD-M/Race Sprung 6 Pad Light to moderate pedal effort, aggressive engagement, OE to mild gear rattle, confidence during hard shifts; Moderate friction life, extended by ACT's exclusive diaphragm design, dramatic improvement in release mechanism life; Carefully engineered, precisely assembled, accurately balanced, uses select ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance and maximum performance, major improvement in release mechanism; Recommended for high horsepower street or race use; 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability, includes ACT's patented Monoloc

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

The ACT SB9-HDG6 Heavy-Duty 6-Pad Sprung Clutch Kit is engineered for high-horsepower street and race applications that demand stronger clamping force, faster shifting and reliable operation under severe use. The kit combines ACT’s Heavy Duty pressure plate with a 6-pad spring-centered race disc, providing improved heat tolerance and confident engagement during hard shifts. The design offers light to moderate pedal effort while delivering a more aggressive engagement than a conventional full-face clutch.

ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection and extend clutch life. Each diaphragm undergoes a four-stage heat-treating process, while precision cover stampings improve rigidity and consistency. The 6-pad spring-centered disc helps damp torsional vibrations and resist failure under harsh conditions. Its wraparound spring windows and thicker spring retainers provide enhanced support, reduce stress concentrations and improve reliability. The ceramic friction material is selected for high-heat performance, while dynamic computer balancing supports smooth, dependable operation at high engine speeds.

The kit also includes ACT’s patented Monoloc, a one-piece direct replacement or upgrade for the standard two-piece wedge collar and wire ring used in pull-type clutch systems. Hardened chrome-moly steel construction and carefully calculated spring tension provide uniform loading on the bearing and pressure plate, helping maintain proper alignment despite driver influence or vehicle modifications. The SB9-HDG6 is 100% clamp-load tested and backed by ACT’s one-year warranty. Mild gear rattle may occur because of the disc’s race-oriented design.
