Selecting a clutch to provide the
performance, quality and feel a driver demands can be challenging in
today’s market. There are lots of performance clutch options, friction
materials and advertising claims to choose from. ACT has been in the Sport
Compact Industry for over 10 years. ACT products are designed to compliment a
vehicles’ drive train system and engine’s modifications.
A
performance clutch needs to properly transfer the engines’ power into
motion. For street use, a long lasting clutch that has a positive feel, smooth
engagement and quiet operation is usually needed. For racing, a tough clutch
that will enable quick shifts and hard slips all the way to the finish line is
required.
ACT offers complete clutch kits or individually sold
components. ACT’s clutch kits generally include a pressure plate, disc,
release bearing, and (in most cases) a pilot bearing and alignment tool. ACT
has an unparalleled reputation for quality, performance, service and
technology.
