ACT 3001102 Performance Street Sprung Clutch Disc

Description

Product Overview

The ACT 3001102 Performance Street Sprung Clutch Disc is a precision‑engineered component designed to meet the demanding requirements of both street enthusiasts and competitive racers. Constructed from high‑grade steel and coated with a durable painted finish, the disc measures 13 x 13 x 2 inches and weighs approximately five pounds, offering a compact yet robust profile that fits seamlessly into a wide range of drivetrain configurations. The core of the disc utilizes premium organic friction material, a proprietary blend that provides exceptional heat tolerance, rapid thermal recovery, and resistance to warping under extreme load conditions. This material also contributes to a smoother engagement feel, reducing the notorious “marcel” effect that can cause delayed or jerky shifts.

In addition to the advanced friction compound, the disc incorporates heat‑treated wraparound spring retainers. These retainers feature a specially engineered spring window that distributes stress evenly across the disc surface, minimizing the risk of localized fatigue and extending the service life of the clutch assembly. The spring design also enhances burst strength, allowing the disc to handle higher torque loads without compromising engagement speed. Together, the organic friction material and spring retainers create a balanced platform that delivers quick, consistent shifts while maintaining durability under repeated high‑temperature cycles.

Usage

This clutch disc is optimized for a variety of driving scenarios. For daily street driving, the reduced marcel design translates to smoother launches from a standstill, less clutch chatter during low‑gear shifts, and a more comfortable driving experience overall. Enthusiasts who enjoy spirited driving will appreciate the rapid engagement and the disc’s ability to handle occasional high‑performance demands without overheating.

In a race environment, the ACT 3001102 excels by delivering fast, decisive shifts that can shave valuable fractions of a second off lap times. The organic friction material’s high heat tolerance ensures the disc remains stable even after multiple hard launches, while the spring retainers mitigate stress concentrations that commonly lead to premature failure in competitive settings. Whether used on a track day, autocross event, or drag strip, the disc provides the confidence needed to push the vehicle to its limits.

Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians. The disc’s dimensions align with standard ACT clutch kits, and the painted exterior finish resists corrosion, extending the component’s lifespan even in harsh environments. It is compatible with a range of ACT clutch housings and can be paired with both steel‑backed and ceramic‑based clutch plates for customized performance tuning.

FAQ

What makes the organic friction material different from standard clutch materials?

The organic friction material used in the ACT 3001102 is a specially formulated blend that offers superior heat resistance and faster thermal recovery compared to conventional asbestos or ceramic compounds. This results in more consistent clutch engagement, reduced wear, and a longer service life under high‑temperature conditions.

Can this disc be used with both street and race clutch kits?

Yes, the disc is designed for versatility. It performs exceptionally well in everyday street driving, providing smooth shifts and reduced chatter, while also delivering the rapid engagement and durability required for race applications. It is compatible with a variety of ACT clutch kits, including both steel‑backed and ceramic‑based plates.

How do the spring retainers improve durability?

The heat‑treated wraparound spring retainers feature a reinforced spring window that evenly distributes load across the disc surface. This design reduces localized stress concentrations, which are common causes of cracking and premature failure, thereby extending the overall lifespan of the clutch assembly.

Is the disc suitable for high‑torque vehicles?

Absolutely. The combination of premium organic friction material and reinforced spring retainers provides the burst strength needed to handle higher torque outputs without sacrificing shift speed or reliability. It is an excellent choice for performance‑oriented cars that demand both strength and responsiveness.

What warranty does ACT offer on this clutch disc?

ACT provides a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects and material failures for a specified period after purchase. Detailed warranty terms can be obtained from the authorized dealer or directly from ACT’s customer service team.
