ACT 6240608 6-Pad Sprung Race Clutch Disc with Ceramic Friction

Description

Product Overview

The ACT 6240608 6-Pad Sprung Race Clutch Disc is engineered for drivers who demand immediate power transfer and precise control. Featuring a six‑pad configuration, the disc offers a larger friction surface that translates into quicker engagement and smoother shift action. The core of the disc is built from heat‑treated spring steel, providing a robust drive plate that resists deformation under extreme torque loads. Premium ceramic friction material lines each pad, delivering low wear rates, superior heat dissipation, and consistent performance even after repeated high‑temperature cycles.

Spring‑centered construction is a hallmark of this design, employing wraparound spring windows that keep the disc centered on the input shaft. This geometry minimizes gear rattle, dampens torsional vibrations, and extends the life of surrounding drivetrain components. The thicker retainer stampings reduce stress concentrations, further enhancing durability during aggressive driving. All components are finished with a painted exterior that resists corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance.

Designed for high‑horsepower street and race applications, the disc supports power levels well beyond typical street‑use clutches. Its robust construction makes it suitable for vehicles that have been modified with performance upgrades such as forced induction, high‑flow exhausts, or aftermarket engine tuning. The disc’s dimensions and bolt pattern match the original equipment specifications, ensuring a direct bolt‑on replacement without the need for additional adapters.

Installation is straightforward for experienced technicians. The disc’s weight of only 0.01 ounces contributes to a lightweight rotating assembly, reducing overall drivetrain inertia and improving throttle response. The OEM part number 6240608 aligns with the manufacturer’s catalog, simplifying ordering and inventory management for retailers and service shops.

Beyond its mechanical advantages, the ACT 6240608 disc benefits from rigorous quality control processes. Each unit undergoes heat‑treatment verification, dimensional inspection, and friction material consistency testing before leaving the factory. This attention to detail ensures that every disc meets the performance expectations of professional racers and enthusiast drivers alike.

Usage

This clutch disc excels in environments where rapid power delivery and durability are critical. Track days, drag racing events, and high‑performance street driving all demand a clutch that can handle sudden torque spikes without slipping or overheating. The ceramic friction material maintains a stable coefficient of friction across a wide temperature range, allowing drivers to push the engine to its limits without fear of clutch fade.

For street enthusiasts who have upgraded their engines with turbochargers, superchargers, or high‑flow intake systems, the ACT 6240608 disc provides the necessary grip to translate increased horsepower into usable acceleration. Its spring‑centered design also reduces the audible gear rattle that can be a nuisance in daily driving, delivering a smoother and quieter ride while still offering race‑ready performance.

Professional racing teams often select this disc for its proven reliability under sustained high‑load conditions. The disc’s ability to dissipate heat quickly helps maintain consistent clutch performance over multiple laps, reducing the need for frequent clutch replacements and minimizing downtime during competition.

FAQ

What vehicles are compatible with the ACT 6240608 clutch disc?

The disc is a direct replacement for ACT part number 6240608 and fits any vehicle that originally used this OEM part. It is commonly installed in performance‑oriented models from manufacturers that specify ACT clutch components, including many sports cars and high‑output street machines.

How does the ceramic friction material improve performance?

Ceramic friction material offers a higher coefficient of friction than traditional organic compounds, which translates to quicker clutch engagement and reduced slip. It also resists wear and maintains its performance characteristics at elevated temperatures, allowing the clutch to handle sustained high‑load conditions without overheating.

Can this disc be used for daily street driving?

Yes. While the disc is designed for high‑performance applications, its spring‑centered design also reduces gear rattle and provides a smoother, quieter operation suitable for everyday driving. It offers the benefit of race‑grade performance without sacrificing street comfort.

What is the advantage of the spring‑centered construction?

The spring‑centered design keeps the disc aligned on the input shaft, minimizing torsional vibrations and gear rattle. This alignment improves the longevity of the clutch assembly and surrounding drivetrain components, especially under the rapid torque changes typical of performance driving.

Is installation difficult for a DIY enthusiast?

Installation follows standard clutch replacement procedures. The disc’s weight is minimal, and its bolt pattern matches the OEM specification, allowing a DIY enthusiast with basic mechanical skills and proper tools to install it without special adapters or modifications.
