FAQ
What is the TC9-HDG6?It is an ACT heavy-duty clutch kit with a sprung six-pad ceramic disc for the verified Toyota GR Corolla application.
Is this clutch intended for daily driving?It can be driven on the street, but the six-pad ceramic disc engages more abruptly than an organic street disc and is best suited to drivers who accept that behavior.
How much torque does it hold?ACT publishes a 619 lb-ft engine-torque rating for this configuration.
Does the kit include a flywheel?No. The flywheel is sold separately and must be inspected or replaced with a compatible unit.
Can the original flywheel be reused?ACT permits the original-equipment or specified ACT flywheel, but the existing flywheel must meet all service limits and surface requirements.
Is break-in required?Follow the current ACT break-in procedure before hard launches, full-load shifts, or competition use.
Will the clutch pedal feel heavier?The heavy-duty pressure plate can increase pedal effort compared with the original clutch.
Who should install this clutch?A technician experienced with manual transmissions should verify flywheel condition, release travel, fastener torque, alignment, and hydraulic operation.
Installation Instructions
- Verify TC9-HDG6, the VIN, transmission, flywheel choice, and torque requirement.
- Disconnect the battery and remove the transmission according to Toyota service information.
- Inspect the flywheel, rear main seal area, release system, pilot support, and input shaft.
- Replace or prepare the flywheel exactly as specified by ACT.
- Install the disc and pressure plate with the alignment tool and tighten fasteners in the specified sequence.
- Install the supplied release components where applicable and confirm fork or concentric-slave operation.
- Reinstall the transmission without using the bellhousing bolts to draw it into alignment.
- Bleed and test the clutch system, then complete the ACT break-in procedure before high-load use.
