**FAQ**:
- Can an ACT Race puck - style disc be used for daily driving? No, ACT's race discs are too aggressive. They have a harsh engagement, and taking off from a stop can be uncomfortable. Use an organic disc for daily street driving.
- When should a clutch disc be replaced? Measure the disc thickness. New discs are usually.312 -.315” (7.93 – 8.00mm) thick, and fully worn ones are.275” (7.00mm) or below. For some Audi and BMW applications, new discs start at.332 -.335” (8.43 – 8.50mm) and should be replaced below.295” (7.50mm). Use a micrometer to measure. Replace the disc if the lining rivets touch the flywheel or pressure plate. Note that using a disc outside the pressure plate's working range can lead to poor results.
Also, starting mid - 2018MY production with VIN J*806877, Subaru incorporated 240mm clutch components, and ACT discs are not compatible with these revised OEM parts.
Using this ACT 6 - puck sprung hub race disc in your Subaru is straightforward. Just make sure it's the right fit for your model year. When you're on the road or track, expect an aggressive start and super - fast shifts. But remember, this disc isn't for daily street driving. It's designed for high - horsepower race or street use.
For maintenance, regularly check the disc thickness with a micrometer. If it gets too thin, it's time to replace it. Keep an eye on the lining rivets too. If they touch the flywheel or pressure plate, replace the disc right away. And be aware that Subaru made changes to the clutch components in mid - 2018MY production, so this ACT disc won't work with those revised parts. Always follow these tips to keep your clutch in top shape and your driving experience great.
