ACT VW8-HDG6 Heavy Duty 6-Pad Sprung Clutch Kit for Volkswagen and Audi

VW8-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 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. HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Light to moderate pedal effort, aggressive engagement, OE to mild gear rattle; Moderate friction life, extended by ACT's exclusive diaphragm design; Carefully engineered, precisely assembled, accurately balanced, uses select ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance and maximum performance; Recommended for high horsepower street or race use; 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 VW8-HDG6 Heavy Duty clutch kit is designed for high-performance street and race applications that demand increased clamp load, reliable heat management, and consistent high-RPM operation. This kit combines ACT’s Heavy Duty pressure plate with a 6-pad, spring-centered race disc for aggressive engagement and faster shifting. The spring-centered design helps damp torsional vibrations while resisting failure under harsh driving conditions.

ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection, and help maximize clutch life. Each diaphragm undergoes a four-stage heat-treating process, while precision cover stampings improve rigidity and consistency. The 6-pad disc uses carefully selected ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance and maximum performance. Its reinforced spring retainers feature wraparound spring windows and thicker stampings to provide improved spring support, reduce stress concentrations, and increase durability.

The ACT VW8-HDG6 provides light to moderate pedal effort with aggressive engagement and may produce OE to mild gear rattle. The 6-pad configuration is recommended for larger clutch sizes because it helps absorb more heat during demanding use. Every assembly is 100% clamp-load tested and dynamically computer balanced for smooth, dependable operation at high engine speeds. This kit is recommended for high-horsepower street vehicles and race applications. It is covered by ACT’s one-year industry-backed warranty.
