The ACT Heavy Duty Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit is a high-performance clutch assembly designed for demanding racing applications. This kit features ACT’s most popular Heavy Duty pressure plate, utilizing an exclusive diaphragm design that increases clamp load, reduces deflection, and enhances overall clutch longevity. The pressure plate components undergo a four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring durability and consistent performance under extreme conditions. The 6-pad, spring-centered race disc is engineered to damp torsional vibrations effectively, providing smooth engagement and reliable power transfer. Constructed with precision cover stampings, this clutch kit offers rigidity and consistency essential for competitive racing and high-stress driving scenarios.

Designed specifically for the 1960 American Motors Ambassador equipped with compatible manual transmissions, this clutch kit serves as a direct upgrade for stock components. It is suitable for street, track, or racing use where maximum durability and performance are required. Installation involves replacing the existing clutch assembly with this bolt-on kit, which includes the pressure plate and race disc. The kit is ideal for enthusiasts seeking a robust, reliable clutch solution that can withstand high torque loads and aggressive driving conditions, ensuring optimal performance and longevity for vintage and classic vehicle restorations or racing builds.

Overview

HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit by ACT

GM2-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.
