Overview

2001-2006 BMW M3 E46 XT/Race Rigid 6-Pad Clutch Kit by ACT

BM9-XTR6 kit features an Xtreme pressure plate for the most demanding driver, and ACT's 6 pad rigid race disc.

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.

ACT clutches deliver the maximum holding power through applying a series of sound engineering advancements to new — not rebuilt — components that maximize load and reduce flex. The result is maximum torque capacity, long life and clean, fast shifting.
