Grip Racing has established itself as a prominent player in the global performance clutch industry, drawing on over two decades of experience supplying top-tier clutch products to leading brands in Japan, the UK, Australia, and the U.S. The company's rapid growth is attributed to its innovative approach, commitment to the highest product quality, and a focus on customer satisfaction through industry-leading warranties and unparalleled customer service.
One of the key components in Grip Racing product lineup is the Clutch Release Bearing, also known as a throw-out bearing. This critical component is often replaced when installing a new clutch. Housed within the transmission bell housing, the release bearing is positioned on a "guide tube" surrounding the transmission input shaft. When the clutch pedal is depressed, the slave cylinder engages the shift fork, pushing the release bearing into the pressure plate. This action disengages the transmission, enabling smooth shifting.
While it is a common practice to replace the release bearing during a clutch replacement, Grip Racing emphasizes the possibility of the bearing failing before the clutch itself requires replacement. Symptoms of a failing release bearing include whining or squealing noises when the clutch pedal is depressed. Recognizing these signs is crucial, and prompt replacement of the release bearing is recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are ACT clutches balanced?
Yes! All ACT clutch assemblies are computer spin balanced to within .25 oz-in to guarantee help smooth operation across the entire RPM range. For comparison, stock production clutches are typically balanced to within .50 oz-in. Lower is definitely better!
Will an ACT clutch increase pedal effort?
ACT pressure plates are specifically designed to handle high torque applications. With ACT's durable design, expect an increase in pedal effort between 15-40% (Heavy Duty) and 50-80% (Xtreme), depending on the application. Clutches developed with less pedal effort often result in a lack of longevity, torque capacity and/or engagement quality.
Do ACT clutches require a break-in period?
For organic street discs, we recommend breaking in the clutch for 300-500 miles with mild engagement, such as stop-and-go city driving prior to racing or spirited driving. ACT race discs usually only require a few hard slips to lap in the surfaces prior to normal driving or racing. Do not overheat the clutch during the break-in period, as this can result in friction surfaces fusing together, hot spots, and friction surface glazing.
Are ACT clutches repairable or rebuildable?
In some situations, rebuilds or repairs may be possible (see warranty), after inspection of the clutch assembly. Please contact our technical department for further information. Because of special modifications, we do not recommend servicing by a general clutch rebuilder.
How much does an ACT clutch weigh?
The weight of the ACT clutch assembly will usually be the same as a stock OEM clutch assembly.
