If you’re looking to upgrade your clutch setup, the ACT HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Kit FC2-HDG6 is definitely worth considering. I’ve had my fair share of clutches, and let me tell you, this one stands out. It’s got ACT's heavy-duty pressure plate, which is their go-to for a reason. The unique diaphragm design really cranks up the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and helps the clutch last longer. You can feel the difference when you’re on the road or track.
One of the highlights here is the four-stage heat-treating process that ACT uses on all their diaphragms. This isn’t just marketing fluff—this process genuinely enhances performance. Plus, the precision cover stampings give it that extra rigidity and consistency you want when you’re pushing your vehicle to the limits.
Now, let’s talk about the 6-pad, spring-centered race disc. This thing is built to handle some serious abuse. The spring center helps dampen torsional vibrations, which means you’re less likely to run into issues under harsh conditions. And if you’re into faster shifting, you’ll appreciate the harsher engagement that comes with this setup. Just a heads up, it’s recommended for larger clutch sizes since it can absorb more heat, making it perfect for high horsepower street or race applications.
Here are some quick features that caught my eye:
As for the nitty-gritty specs, here’s what you need to know:
Just keep in mind, it doesn’t come with a clutch master cylinder or pilot bushing, but it does include grease and a pilot bearing. If you’re ready to take your Ford Ranger (1983-1984) to the next level, this kit is a solid choice. You won’t regret it.
