Designed to withstand high torque loads and aggressive driving styles, this clutch system ensures reliable performance and long-lasting durability for enthusiasts seeking maximum performance from their vehicle.

Overview

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

BM9-XTG6 kit features an Xtreme pressure plate for the most demanding driver, and ACT's 6 pad spring-centered 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, 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.

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.
