ACT BM17-HDG6 Heavy Duty Race Sprung Clutch Kit - 6-Pad

The ACT BM17-HDG6 Heavy Duty Race Sprung 6-Pad Clutch Kit is engineered for high horsepower street and race applications where maximum performance and heat tolerance are critical. This complete clutch kit combines ACT's popular Heavy Duty pressure plate with an aggressive 6-pad spring-centered race disc for superior power handling.

Heavy Duty Pressure Plate Features:

• Exclusive diaphragm design increases clamp load while reducing deflection to maximize clutch life
• Four-stage heat-treating process on all diaphragms for unparalleled performance and durability
• Precision cover stampings provide rigidity and consistency under extreme conditions
• 100% clamp load tested for reliable performance

6-Pad Spring-Centered Race Disc Features:

• Select ceramic friction materials deliver high heat tolerance and maximum performance
• Spring-center design properly damps torsional vibrations and resists failure under harsh conditions
• Wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings reduce stress concentrations and increase strength
• 6-pad configuration ideal for larger clutch sizes to absorb more heat
• Dynamically computer balanced for smooth high RPM reliability

Performance Characteristics:

• Light to moderate pedal effort for manageable street driving
• Aggressive engagement with faster shifting response
• OE to mild gear rattle (typical of performance clutches)
• Moderate friction life, extended by ACT's exclusive diaphragm design

This kit is carefully engineered, precisely assembled, and accurately balanced to deliver race-proven performance. The harsher engagement and faster shifting characteristics make the BM17-HDG6 ideal for dedicated performance vehicles and competition use.
