Key Features

- ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection and maximize clutch life.
- ACT pressure plates have precision cover stampings to provide rigidity and consistency.
- ACT's 6-pad, spring-centered race disc features a spring-center to properly damp torsional vibrations and resist failure under harsh conditions.
- ACT spring retainers utilize wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings to provide spring support, reduce stress concentrations, and increase strength and reliability.
- With the 6-pad, spring-centered race disc, engagement is harsher, but shifting is faster.

What is the VW9-HDG6?
It is the ACT single-disc clutch kit described in this listing for the stated application and use.
How do I confirm fitment?
Match the complete year, make, model, engine, transmission and every qualifier shown in the title and fitment section.
Is this intended for street use?
ACT recommends this combination for high-horsepower street or racing applications. Expect aggressive engagement and light-to-moderate pedal effort; confirm that drivability suits the intended use.
Can I mix clutch components from different kits?
Do not assume components are interchangeable. Verify spline, diameter, step height, release system and the complete matched ACT assembly.
Does installation require break-in?
Follow the current ACT instructions for the exact clutch and disc type. Street friction systems commonly require a controlled break-in period; race products can differ.
Should the flywheel be inspected or resurfaced?
Yes. Inspect the mating surface and use only a compatible flywheel prepared to ACT specifications. Replace damaged or out-of-spec components.
Is professional installation recommended?
Yes. Clutch and flywheel work requires correct transmission removal, fastener torque, alignment, release-system setup and safety procedures.
Can Black Ops Auto Works help verify the application?
Yes. Provide the vehicle, engine, transmission, existing flywheel, power level and intended street or competition use before ordering.
Installation Instructions
Follow the current ACT instructions for part number VW9-HDG6. Verify fit, clearance, system specifications, fastener torque, and safe operation before use. Professional installation is recommended when specialized tools, alignment, calibration, or fabrication are required.
