Product Description: XT/Race Rigid 4 Pad Clutch Kit

The XT/Race Rigid 4 Pad Clutch Kit, designated as Z66-XTR4, is engineered for the most discerning drivers who demand uncompromising performance in racing conditions. Weighing 12.3 pounds, this kit offers a torque capacity of 430 ft/lbs, exceeding OE standards by 129%. It features a ceramic clutch disc material with an 8.8-inch (224mm) diameter and an input shaft diameter of 0.9375 inches.

At the heart of this kit lies the Xtreme pressure plate from ACT, renowned for its exclusive diaphragm design that enhances clamp load, minimizes deflection, and maximizes clutch longevity. Each diaphragm undergoes a stringent four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring exceptional performance under the most demanding conditions. Precision cover stampings provide rigidity and consistency for reliable operation.

The kit is equipped with ACT's 4-pad rigid race discs crafted from high-quality ceramic friction materials. The chrome-moly hub is heat-treated for superior strength and durability. The lightweight, rigid design enables quicker shifts and ensures trouble-free service. While engagement may be harsher, the rigid design facilitates faster shifting, making it well-suited for smaller disc sizes in smaller engines.

Key Features:

  • Feel: Moderate to heavy pedal effort, aggressive engagement, with increased gear rattle.
  • Life: Moderate friction life, extended by ACT's exclusive diaphragm design; rigid design may increase spline wear.
  • Quality: Carefully engineered, precisely assembled, accurately balanced, utilizing select ceramic friction materials for high heat tolerance and maximum performance.
  • Recommended Use: Designed for race use only, catering to enthusiasts seeking uncompromising performance on the track.
  • ACT Difference: Rigorously tested, ensuring 100% clamp load and dynamically computer balanced for smooth operation even at high RPMs.

Vehicle Fitment: This clutch kit is compatible with a range of vehicles including various Mazda and Ford models from the 1993 to 2003 model years. Compatible vehicles include:

  • 1993-2003 Ford Probe Base, SE
  • 1993-2003 Mazda 626 DX, LX
  • 1993-2003 Mazda MX-6 Base
  • 2001-2003 Mazda Protege DX, ES, LX, Mazdaspeed
  • 2002 Mazda Protege5 Base

For drivers seeking unparalleled performance and reliability in racing conditions, the XT/Race Rigid 4 Pad Clutch Kit from ACT is the ultimate choice, delivering exceptional performance both on the track and during demanding driving conditions.

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.
