If you're serious about performance and reliability in your classic GM vehicle, the ACT GM3-HDG6 Heavy Duty 6 Pad Clutch Kit is a must-have upgrade. This kit is engineered for high horsepower applications, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts looking to enhance their ride's capabilities. With a focus on durability and efficiency, this clutch kit is designed to handle the demands of both street and track use.
This clutch kit is compatible with a variety of GM models, ensuring a precise fit for your vehicle:
The GM3-HDG6 kit features ACT's renowned Heavy Duty pressure plate, which utilizes an exclusive diaphragm design. This design increases clamp load, reduces deflection, and maximizes clutch life, ensuring you get the most out of your setup. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, enhancing performance and longevity.
ACT’s 6-pad, spring-centered race disc is engineered to dampen torsional vibrations while resisting failure under extreme conditions. The engagement is more aggressive, allowing for quicker shifts, making it perfect for those who appreciate the thrill of high-performance driving.
For those ready to tackle the installation, detailed instructions are available. CLICK HERE for the installation guide.
Note that this kit is designed for select GM vehicles with a 10 spline input shaft. It does not include a clutch master cylinder, pilot bushing, or pressure plate bolts, so ensure you have these components ready for a smooth installation.
Owners of classic Chevy models have reported excellent performance after installing the GM3-HDG6 kit. One 1970 Chevelle owner noted, “The clutch engagement is precise and aggressive, giving me the confidence to push my car harder on the track without any slip.” Another customer with a 1985 Camaro said, “I love how quickly I can shift now—no more waiting for the clutch to catch!”
Upgrade your GM vehicle with the ACT GM3-HDG6 Heavy Duty 6 Pad Clutch Kit and experience the difference in performance and reliability on both the street and the track.
