The MB11 - HDG6 kit comes with ACT's top - selling Heavy Duty pressure plate. This pressure plate uses an exclusive diaphragm design. It boosts the clamp load, cuts down deflection, and significantly extends the clutch's lifespan. Each diaphragm goes through a four - stage heat - treating process, ensuring unrivaled performance. The precision cover stampings on ACT pressure plates offer excellent rigidity and consistency. The 6 - pad, spring - centered race disc from ACT has a spring - center to effectively damp torsional vibrations and resist failure in tough conditions. The spring retainers use wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings. They provide spring support, reduce stress concentrations, and enhance strength and reliability. With this 6 - pad, spring - centered race disc, the engagement is a bit harsher but shifting becomes much faster. It's a great choice for larger clutch sizes as it can absorb more heat. This part fits various Mitsubishi Lancer models from 2008 - 2017, including DE, ES, ES Sportback, GT, GTS, and GTS Sportback.
Using this clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and the engine is cool. Remove the old clutch kit carefully following your vehicle's repair manual. Then, install the new ACT clutch kit, ensuring all parts are properly aligned. When driving with this clutch, be aware that the engagement is harsher compared to a standard clutch. You'll need to adjust your driving style a bit to enjoy faster shifting. As for maintenance, check the clutch periodically for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice unusual noises or a change in the clutch's performance, have it inspected by a professional. Also, make sure to keep the clutch clean and free from debris to ensure its long - term performance.
