The ACT BM13-HDG4 Heavy Duty Clutch Kit is designed for those who demand performance without compromise. This kit features ACT's renowned Heavy Duty pressure plate, which utilizes an exclusive diaphragm design to enhance clamp load while minimizing deflection. This means you can expect a longer clutch life and reliable performance, even under extreme conditions.

One of the standout features of the BM13-HDG4 is its meticulous four-stage heat treatment process applied to all diaphragms. This results in unparalleled performance that you can trust. The precision cover stampings of the pressure plate ensure rigidity and consistency, giving you confidence in your gear shifts.

Equipped with a 4-pad spring-centered race disc, this kit is engineered to dampen torsional vibrations for quieter operation. Customers have noted that while the engagement can be a bit harsher, the trade-off is noticeably faster shifting—a must for any performance enthusiast. The spring retainers are designed with wraparound spring windows and thicker stampings, providing enhanced support and reliability.

Here’s what some users are saying:

  • “I installed the BM13-HDG4 on my BMW and the difference is night and day. The engagement is crisp and I can feel the power transfer better than ever!”
  • “If you’re looking for a clutch that can handle the heat, this is it. I’ve pushed my car hard, and it’s held up perfectly.”

Features:

  • Light to moderate pedal effort with aggressive engagement
  • Moderate friction life, enhanced by ACT's unique diaphragm design
  • Engineered with select ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance
  • Ideal for high horsepower street or race use
  • 100% clamp load tested for reliability at high RPMs
