Fitment Information: This clutch kit fits 2006 - 2017 Subaru WRX, 2005 - 2012 Subaru Legacy GT/Legacy GT Spec B, 2005 - 2009 Subaru Outback XT, and 2006 - 2008 Subaru Forester XT. Note that starting mid - 2018MY production with VIN J*806877, Subaru incorporated 240mm clutch components, and ACT kits aren't compatible with these revised OEM parts. Features: The SB5 - HDG6 kit pairs a sprung, 6 - pad race clutch disc with a well - loved Heavy Duty pressure plate. You'll enjoy a light to moderate pedal feel, aggressive engagement, and it can handle up to 535ft/lbs of torque. Ideal for high - horsepower street cars or race use. ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design. It boosts clamp load, cuts deflection, and extends clutch life. Diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process for top - notch performance. Precision cover stampings ensure rigidity and consistency. The 6 - pad, spring - centered race disc dampens vibrations and resists failure under tough conditions. Spring retainers offer great support, reducing stress and enhancing strength. Engagement is harsher but shifting is faster with this disc, and it's great for larger clutch sizes to absorb heat. Product Details: Light to moderate pedal effort, aggressive engagement with OE to mild gear rattle. Recommended for high - horsepower street or race use. Torque capacity is 535ft/lbs. All products are 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer - balanced for smooth high - RPM reliability. What's Included: 6 - Pad Sprung Race Disc, Heavy Duty Pressure Plate, Alignment Tool, and Pilot Bearing.
Using your ACT Heavy Duty Clutch Kit: First, make sure your vehicle is in the list of compatible models. If you have a Subaru made after mid - 2018MY with VIN starting J*806877, this kit won't work. Install all the included parts: the 6 - pad sprung race disc, heavy - duty pressure plate, alignment tool, and pilot bearing. Follow the standard installation procedures for clutch kits. When driving, expect a light to moderate pedal feel and an aggressive engagement. This is normal for this high - performance clutch. Shifting will be faster, but the engagement might be a bit harsher compared to a regular clutch. Remember, this kit is designed for high - horsepower street cars or race use. So, if you're using it for normal daily driving, be aware of the different feel. Maintenance: Keep an eye on the clutch performance. If you notice any strange noises, vibrations, or a change in pedal feel, it could be a sign of wear. The pressure plates and discs are built to last, thanks to the special diaphragm design and heat - treating process. But it's still a good idea to have it checked by a professional regularly, especially if you're using it in high - stress situations like racing.
