If you're looking to upgrade your clutch setup, the ACT Heavy Duty Sprung Kit (TA3-HDSS) is a solid choice that doesn't mess around. This kit is built for those who appreciate the balance between daily driving and the occasional off-road adventure. It features ACT's renowned heavy-duty pressure plate, which means it can handle some serious torque—up to 455 ft/lbs, to be exact. That's a nice bump over stock, so you can push your rig a little harder without worrying about slipping.
The clutch disc in this kit is where it really shines. It's got a 10.5-inch diameter and is made from premium organic materials that resist wear and handle heat like a champ. Plus, it's steel-backed for extra durability, so you won't be replacing it anytime soon. The design also helps with smooth engagement; you won’t feel like you’re wrestling with the pedal, even in stop-and-go traffic. It’s light to moderate pedal effort, which is a huge plus when you’re navigating city streets or crawling over rocks.
ACT's exclusive diaphragm design is a game changer. It increases clamp load and reduces deflection, which means you get a longer lifespan out of your clutch. This kit is also 100% clamp load tested and dynamically balanced, so you can trust it at high RPMs without any hiccups. The key areas are induction hardened to further extend its life, making it a reliable choice for both street and off-road use.
Here's a quick rundown of what you get:
Now, a couple of specifics you might want to know: this kit doesn’t come with a clutch master cylinder, release bearing, or alignment tool, so make sure you have those sorted out before diving into the install. Weighing in at 22.8 lbs, it’s not a heavy burden to add to your ride. Just remember, this kit fits the following:
All in all, if you’re looking for a clutch that can take a beating while still being smooth enough for daily driving, the ACT TA3-HDSS kit is definitely worth considering. It’s built tough, and you’ll feel the difference every time you hit the gas.
