ACT Heavy Duty Sprung 6-Puck Clutch Kit Subaru WRX 2002-2005 / Forester XT 2004-2005 | SB9-HDG6

This ACT SB9 - HDG6 clutch kit is a great fit for 2002 - 2005 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2005 Subaru Forester XT, and 2004 - 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo. It features a sprung, 6 - pad race clutch disc and a well - loved Heavy Duty pressure plate. You'll experience a light to moderate pedal feel and aggressive engagement, and it can handle up to 555 ft/lbs of torque. Ideal for high - horsepower street cars or race use. The ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design. They go through a four - stage heat - treating process for top - notch performance. With precision cover stampings, they offer rigidity and consistency. The 6 - pad spring - centered race disc dampens vibrations and resists failure in tough conditions. Its spring retainers offer better support and reliability. Engagement is harsher but shifting is faster. It's great for larger clutch sizes to absorb heat. The Monoloc is a one - piece replacement for the standard two - piece in pull - type clutches. It provides uniform loading and is made of hardened Chrome - moly steel for long - lasting service. You'll feel confident during hard shifts with a light to moderate pedal effort and some OE to mild gear rattle. It's 100% clamp load tested and computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability. Included in the kit are a 6 - pad sprung race disc, a Heavy Duty pressure plate, an alignment tool, a pilot bearing, and a release bearing.

Using this clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is the right model (2002 - 2005 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2005 Subaru Forester XT, or 2004 - 2005 Subaru Baja Turbo). When installing, use the included alignment tool to ensure everything is in place correctly. The pilot bearing and release bearing should be installed as per the standard procedure. When driving with this clutch, expect a light to moderate pedal effort and an aggressive engagement. You might notice some mild gear rattle, but that's normal. For high - horsepower street or race use, it will perform great. As for maintenance, keep an eye on the clutch performance. If you feel any changes in the pedal feel or shifting, it could be a sign to check the clutch. The Monoloc and other parts are made to last, but regular inspections are always a good idea. Also, make sure to follow the general maintenance schedule of your vehicle to keep the clutch in top shape.
