ACT FM1-HDR6 Heavy Duty Clutch Kit

If you're looking to upgrade your clutch system, the ACT FM1-HDR6 Heavy Duty/Race Rigid 6 Pad Kit is engineered for performance enthusiasts who demand the best from their Ford Mustang or Mercury Capri. This kit is specifically designed for the following models:

  • Ford Mustang 1986-2001
  • Ford Mustang GT 1986-1995
  • Ford Mustang SVT Cobra 1993-1995
  • Mercury Capri 1986

Performance Features

The FM1-HDR6 features ACT's renowned Heavy Duty pressure plate, which utilizes a unique diaphragm design to enhance clamp load and minimize deflection. This means you get a clutch that not only lasts longer but also performs better under stress. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring exceptional performance and durability.

The 6-pad rigid race discs are crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials, paired with a heat-treated chrome-moly hub for added strength. This lightweight design allows for quicker shifts and smoother operation, making it ideal for both street and track use. While the engagement may be harsher, the trade-off is faster shifting, which is what you want when you're pushing your vehicle to its limits.
