ACT 6240026 6-Pad Rigid Race Clutch Disc

Description

Product Overview

The ACT 6240026 6‑Pad Rigid Race Clutch Disc is engineered for drivers who demand precise, rapid engagement and reliable power transfer under extreme conditions. Constructed from premium ceramic friction material, the disc offers a low wear rate and superior heat tolerance, allowing it to maintain consistent performance even during prolonged high‑rpm operation. The hub is forged from chrome‑moly steel and undergoes a specialized heat‑treatment process, delivering exceptional strength and durability that resists deformation and cracking under the intense thermal loads typical of race environments.

Each of the six pads is meticulously balanced to reduce rotational inertia, resulting in a lightweight yet robust assembly that minimizes gear rattle at low to moderate RPMs. The disc’s design incorporates an aggressive engagement profile, providing a quick, decisive clutch bite that translates to faster shift times and improved acceleration. This combination of lightweight construction and high‑torque capacity makes the ACT 6240026 an ideal upgrade for both street‑legal high‑performance vehicles and dedicated race cars.

Manufactured by Advanced Clutch Technology (ACT), a brand renowned for its commitment to innovation and quality, the disc meets rigorous OEM standards. It carries the manufacturer part number 6240026 and is compatible with a wide range of performance‑oriented drivetrains. The disc’s painted exterior not only offers a sleek appearance but also provides corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the component in harsh environments.

Technical specifications include a 6‑pad configuration, a rigid construction that eliminates flex under load, and a torque capacity approximately 28 % greater than comparable organic clutch discs. The disc is rated for high‑horsepower applications, making it suitable for engines producing significant power outputs where traditional organic materials would quickly degrade.

Usage

This clutch disc excels in scenarios where rapid gear changes and high torque handling are essential. It is particularly well‑suited for track days, drag racing, and high‑performance street driving where drivers demand immediate response from the drivetrain. The aggressive engagement characteristic reduces the time between clutch release and power delivery, enabling smoother launches and more consistent lap times.

In street applications, the disc provides a balance between performance and drivability. The lightweight design helps to reduce overall rotating mass, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and reduced wear on associated transmission components. Drivers who frequently shift in stop‑and‑go traffic will appreciate the reduced gear rattle and smoother clutch operation at low RPMs.

For race teams, the disc’s high heat tolerance allows for multiple hard‑fought laps without the risk of overheating, a common failure point for organic clutch materials. The chrome‑moly hub’s durability ensures that the disc can withstand the repeated clutch engagements typical of competitive racing, while the ceramic friction material maintains consistent bite pressure throughout the event.

Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians, as the disc conforms to standard ACT clutch dimensions and mounting patterns. It is recommended to pair the disc with a compatible ACT pressure plate and flywheel to achieve optimal performance and longevity.

FAQ

What vehicles are compatible with the ACT 6240026 clutch disc?

The disc is compatible with a wide range of performance‑oriented vehicles that use standard ACT clutch dimensions. It is commonly installed in sports cars, muscle cars, and race‑prepared vehicles. Always verify the specific fitment with your vehicle’s clutch kit specifications.

How does ceramic friction compare to organic friction material?

Ceramic friction offers higher heat resistance, lower wear rates, and more consistent bite pressure than organic material. This results in longer service intervals and better performance under high‑temperature conditions, making it ideal for high‑horsepower applications.

Can I use this disc with a stock pressure plate?

While the disc can physically mate with a stock pressure plate, for optimal performance and durability it is recommended to pair it with an ACT pressure plate designed for high‑torque applications. This ensures proper clamping force and maximizes the disc’s capabilities.

What maintenance is required for the clutch disc?

Regular inspection of the disc for wear, glazing, or contamination is advised. Keep the hub surface clean and free of oil or debris. Replace the disc when the friction material thickness reaches the manufacturer’s minimum specification to maintain performance.

Is the disc suitable for daily street driving?

Yes, the ACT 6240026 provides a balance of aggressive performance and drivability, making it suitable for both daily street use and occasional high‑performance driving. Its reduced gear rattle and smooth engagement enhance everyday comfort while still delivering race‑ready capability when needed.
