Xtreme Pressure Plate & 6-Pad Sprung Race Disc Clutch Kit

The ACT ME2-XTG6 is an Extreme Race Clutch Kit from ACT, engineered for high-demand street and race applications. It features an Xtreme pressure plate, designed with an exclusive diaphragm that boosts clamp load, minimizes deflection, and maximizes clutch life through a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process. Complementing the pressure plate is a 6-pad spring-centered race disc with a robust construction to effectively damp torsional vibrations and withstand extreme conditions. This combination offers aggressive engagement and confidence during hard shifts. This comprehensive kit includes the necessary components for installation: the Xtreme pressure plate, a 6-pad sprung race disc, a release bearing, a pilot bearing, and an alignment tool. The clutch assembly is precisely balanced to within .25 oz-in for smooth operation at high RPMs. It is rated to handle up to 787 ft-lbs of torque, representing a 115% increase over stock specifications. Expect moderate to heavy pedal effort and potentially mild gear rattle, consistent with its race-oriented design. The kit also incorporates ACT's patented Monoloc, a single-piece component that serves as a direct replacement or upgrade for the conventional two-piece wedge collar and wire ring found in pull-type clutches. The Monoloc ensures uniform loading and maintains proper alignment of the bearing and pressure plate, even under demanding driving conditions, thanks to its hardened chrome-moly steel construction. The ACT ME2-XTG6 is specifically designed for Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution models from 2003 to 2006, including the Evolution 8, Evolution 9, MR, RS, and SE trims with the 2.0L DOHC engine.
