ACT 6240508 6-Pad Sprung Race Clutch Disc

Description

Product Overview

The ACT 6240508 6-Pad Sprung Race Clutch Disc is a purpose‑built component designed for high‑performance drivetrains that demand rapid engagement, consistent torque transfer, and exceptional durability. Constructed from heat‑treated spring steel, the drive plate provides a robust foundation that resists deformation under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. The disc incorporates premium ceramic friction material, a blend engineered to deliver low wear rates while maintaining high heat tolerance, ensuring the clutch can handle sustained high‑horsepower output without fading. Spring‑centered construction utilizes wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings, which together dampen torsional vibrations, reduce gear rattle, and protect the assembly from premature failure. The exterior is painted for corrosion resistance, and the overall dimensions of 13 × 13 × 2 inches make it a direct fit for a wide range of performance‑oriented vehicles.

Usage

This clutch disc is recommended for high‑horsepower street machines and dedicated race cars where rapid shift response and reliable power transfer are critical. Whether installed in a modified street tuner seeking aggressive acceleration or a track‑only vehicle that endures repeated high‑load launches, the ACT 6240508 delivers the consistent performance required by serious enthusiasts. The spring‑centered design mitigates the harshness often associated with race‑grade clutches, providing a smoother feel for daily driving while still offering the crisp, fast‑shift action demanded on the track. Its ceramic friction material tolerates the elevated temperatures generated during aggressive driving, making it suitable for applications that push the engine beyond stock output levels.

Why Choose Us

Choosing the ACT 6240508 means selecting a clutch disc that combines engineering precision with proven durability. ACT has a long history of producing performance‑focused components, and this disc reflects that heritage through meticulous material selection and rigorous testing. The heat‑treated spring steel drive plate is engineered to resist warping, ensuring consistent engagement lap times lap after lap. Premium ceramic friction material not only extends service life but also provides a stable coefficient of friction across a wide temperature range, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Spring‑centered construction further enhances reliability by evenly distributing load across the disc, minimizing stress concentrations that can lead to cracks or premature wear. Additionally, ACT offers comprehensive technical support and a responsive warranty program, giving customers confidence that their investment is protected.

FAQ

Is this clutch disc compatible with my street‑legal performance car?

Yes, the ACT 6240508 is designed to fit a broad range of performance‑oriented street vehicles that use a standard 6‑pad clutch configuration. Its dimensions and mounting specifications match common aftermarket and OEM setups, making it a direct replacement for many stock discs.

How does the ceramic friction material compare to organic alternatives?

Ceramic friction offers higher heat resistance and a more consistent coefficient of friction than organic compounds. This results in less fade during prolonged high‑load driving and longer service intervals, especially in applications where the clutch is subjected to repeated aggressive launches.

What maintenance is required to keep the clutch disc performing optimally?

Regular inspection of the clutch assembly for wear, proper lubrication of the pressure plate, and ensuring the flywheel surface is clean and free of oil or debris will help maintain optimal performance. The ceramic material does not require special break‑in procedures, but it is recommended to allow a short period of moderate driving before subjecting the clutch to full race conditions.

Can this disc be used in a dual‑clutch transmission setup?

The ACT 6240508 is intended for single‑clutch applications. While the dimensions may physically fit a dual‑clutch system, the spring‑centered design and friction characteristics are optimized for single‑clutch operation, and using it in a dual‑clutch setup could affect shift quality and durability.

What warranty does ACT provide for this clutch disc?

ACT offers a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a specified period after purchase. Detailed warranty terms are included with the product packaging and can also be accessed through ACT’s official website or by contacting their support team directly.
