This ACT clutch kit is a game - changer for your Subaru! It fits 2002 - 2005 WRX, 2004 - 2005 Forester XT, and 2004 - 2005 Baja Turbo models. The SB9 - XTR6 kit features a rigid 6 - pad race clutch disc and a popular Xtreme pressure plate. You'll experience a moderate to heavy pedal effort with an aggressive engagement, and it can handle up to 654 ft/lbs of torque. This kit is ideal for race use only. The ACT Xtreme pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design. They've been through a four - stage heat - treating process, increasing clamp load, reducing deflection, and maximizing clutch life. The precision cover stampings provide rigidity and consistency. The 6 - pad rigid race discs are made of high - quality ceramic friction materials with a heat - treated chrome - moly hub for strength and durability. The lightweight design allows for quick shifts and smooth service. Engagement is harsher but shifting is faster, and it's great for larger clutch sizes to absorb heat. The Monoloc is a one - piece replacement that provides uniform loading on the bearing and pressure plate, ensuring proper alignment. It's made of hardened chrome - moly steel for long - lasting service. The kit includes a 6 - pad rigid race disc, an Xtreme pressure plate, an alignment tool, a pilot bearing, and a release bearing. It's 100% clamp load tested and dynamically computer - balanced for reliable high - RPM performance.
Using this ACT clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your Subaru model (2002 - 2005 WRX, 2004 - 2005 Forester XT, or 2004 - 2005 Baja Turbo) is turned off and cooled down. Then, carefully install the 6 - pad rigid race disc, Xtreme pressure plate, alignment tool, pilot bearing, and release bearing following the standard installation procedures for your vehicle. When driving with this clutch kit, expect a moderate to heavy pedal effort and an aggressive engagement. This is normal for a race - oriented clutch. Remember, this kit is designed for race use only. Avoid using it for daily commuting as it may cause premature wear. For maintenance, check the clutch components regularly for any signs of damage or excessive wear. If you notice any issues, such as unusual noises or difficulty shifting, have it inspected by a professional. Also, keep the clutch clean to ensure optimal performance. With proper use and maintenance, this ACT clutch kit will serve you well for years.
