2001 Ford Mustang 4.6L V8

Part #: 6266319

Overview

The ACT 6 Pad Sprung Race Disc Ceramic is a high-performance clutch component designed for enthusiasts seeking aggressive engagement and quick shifting capabilities in their Ford Mustang. Built with high-quality ceramic friction materials, this race-ready disc is engineered to withstand the intense heat and stress generated during spirited driving, track days, or racing applications. Whether you're upgrading your stock clutch for better durability or aiming for maximum performance, this disc offers the reliability and responsiveness you need to push your vehicle to its limits.

Ideal for street performance, drag racing, or track use, the ACT 6 Pad Sprung Race Disc Ceramic provides a significant upgrade over standard clutch discs. Its design ensures a harsher engagement for quicker throttle response, making it suitable for drivers who demand precision and speed during shifts. Despite its aggressive nature, the sprung hub helps dampen torsional vibrations, contributing to smoother engagement and reducing driveline shock, which can extend the lifespan of your drivetrain components.

Key Features

The ACT 6 Pad Sprung Race Disc Ceramic incorporates several advanced features to deliver exceptional performance and durability:

• Ceramic Friction Material: Made from high-quality ceramic compounds, this disc offers excellent heat resistance and fade protection, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding conditions.
• Six-Pad Design: The six-pad configuration provides increased surface area for better heat dissipation and more aggressive engagement, ideal for larger clutch setups or high-torque applications.
• Sprung Hub: The heavy-duty torsional dampening springs absorb shock and vibrations during engagement, resulting in smoother operation and reduced stress on drivetrain components.
• Spring-Centered Construction: Ensures even engagement and helps support rapid shifts, making it suitable for racing or high-performance street driving.
• Enhanced Heat Capacity: Designed to absorb and dissipate more heat than standard discs, this component helps prevent clutch fade during extended or aggressive use.
• Durability: Constructed with premium materials and precision manufacturing, this clutch disc is built to withstand the rigors of high-performance driving.

Construction & Design

The ACT 6 Pad Sprung Race Disc Ceramic features a robust construction tailored for high-stress environments. The ceramic friction material is bonded to a durable steel backing, ensuring longevity and consistent performance. The six-pad configuration is strategically designed to optimize heat dissipation and engagement characteristics, while the sprung hub incorporates heavy-duty torsional springs that effectively dampen vibrations and shocks during clutch engagement. This combination of materials and design elements results in a clutch disc that not only handles increased power levels but also provides a smoother, more controlled driving experience.
