The FF5 - XTSS clutch kit is a top - notch choice for the most demanding drivers. It features an ACT Xtreme pressure plate. This pressure plate uses an exclusive diaphragm design, which effectively increases the clamp load, reduces deflection, and maximizes the clutch's lifespan. All diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process, delivering unparalleled performance. The precision cover stampings of ACT pressure plates ensure rigidity and consistency. ACT's Performance street discs are extremely popular. They are made of premium organic materials with high copper content for better heat transfer. The steel - backed lining offers greater burst strength and durability. These discs have reduced marcel, enabling faster shift action to perfectly match the ACT pressure plates. You'll enjoy quiet operation along with increased strength and reliability. This part fits 2016 - 2018 Ford Focus RS and 2013 - 2018 Ford Focus ST models.
Using the ACT clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and parked safely. You'll need to replace your old clutch with this new kit following the standard vehicle repair procedures. If you're not confident in doing it yourself, it's best to have a professional mechanic handle the installation. When using the vehicle with the new clutch, avoid sudden and aggressive starts as this can put unnecessary stress on the clutch and reduce its lifespan. For maintenance, regularly check the clutch for any signs of wear, like slipping or strange noises. If you notice any issues, it's important to have it inspected promptly. Keep the clutch clean and dry to prevent damage from dirt and moisture. This will help your ACT clutch kit serve you well for a long time.
