If you're looking to take your GM ride to the next level, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit (GM3-HDR6) might just be what you need. This kit features ACT's heavy-duty pressure plate, which is a favorite among gearheads for good reason. They’ve designed it with a unique diaphragm that ramps up the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and extends the life of your clutch. Each diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, so you know it’s built to handle some serious heat.
The pressure plate itself is made with precision cover stampings to ensure it’s rigid and consistent—no flimsy parts here. Now, let’s talk about the 6-pad rigid race disc. It’s crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials, which means it’s tough enough to take on the heat of high-performance driving. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated, giving it the strength and durability you want when you’re pushing your vehicle to its limits. Plus, the lightweight design lets you shift quicker and smoother, though you should expect a bit of a harsher engagement. If you like fast shifts, this is your jam.
Now, a heads-up: this kit is really meant for race use. If you're going all out, you’ll appreciate the light to moderate pedal effort and the aggressive engagement. Just know that with that performance comes increased gear rattle, so it’s not for the faint of heart. The friction life is decent, but the rigid design might wear down the spline a bit quicker than a more forgiving setup.
Here are some specs that might help you out:
This kit is a perfect fit for a bunch of classic GM cars, including the Buick Century (1973-2005), Chevrolet Camaro (1967-1992), and Pontiac GTO (1964-1966), among others. Just keep in mind that it’s specifically designed for GM vehicles with a 10-spline input shaft, so double-check your setup before you dive in.
Install Instructions:
In short, if you’re serious about performance and don’t mind a little roughness in the engagement, the ACT HD/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit could be just what you need to get your ride right where you want it.
