If you're looking to elevate your vehicle's performance, the ACT VW6-HDG6 Heavy Duty Clutch Kit is a solid choice. This kit features ACT's renowned Heavy Duty pressure plate, designed to enhance clamp load while minimizing deflection. The result? A clutch that not only lasts longer but also performs better under pressure.
One of the standout features of the VW6-HDG6 is its exclusive diaphragm design, which undergoes a meticulous four-stage heat-treating process. This ensures that every component is built for durability and efficiency. Customers frequently mention how they appreciate the precision cover stampings that provide extra rigidity and consistency, making installation straightforward and reliable.
The 6-pad, spring-centered race disc is another highlight. It effectively dampens torsional vibrations, which is crucial for high-performance applications. While some users note that the engagement can be a bit harsher, they also agree that the faster shifting is well worth it, especially for spirited driving or racing.
