ACT HD/Race Rigid 4 Pad Kit Ford Ranger 1983-1984 - FC2-HDR4

ACT FC2-HDR4 Heavy Duty 4 Pad Clutch Kit

For Ford Ranger owners from 1983 to 1984 looking to enhance their clutch performance, the ACT FC2-HDR4 Heavy Duty 4 Pad Clutch Kit is a prime choice. This kit features ACT's renowned Heavy Duty pressure plate, designed to deliver increased clamp load while minimizing deflection for extended clutch life. The exclusive diaphragm design undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring that it withstands the demands of spirited driving and racing.

Why Choose the ACT FC2-HDR4?

With precision cover stampings, the pressure plate provides exceptional rigidity and consistency. The 4-pad rigid race discs are crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials, ensuring they can handle the heat and stress of high-performance applications. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated, offering superior strength and durability. This lightweight, rigid design not only allows for quicker shifts but also ensures a smooth, trouble-free service experience.

While the engagement may feel harsher, the payoff is faster shifting, making this kit particularly well-suited for smaller engine setups. If you're racing or just pushing your Ranger to its limits, this clutch kit is engineered for race use, designed to keep up with your performance upgrades.
