The HC10 - HDG6 kit comes with ACT's top - selling Heavy Duty pressure plate. This pressure plate uses an exclusive diaphragm design, which boosts the clamp load, cuts down deflection, and significantly extends the clutch life. All diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process for outstanding performance. The precision cover stampings of ACT pressure plates offer rigidity and consistency. ACT's 6 - pad, spring - centered race disc has a spring - center to effectively damp torsional vibrations and resist failure in tough conditions. The spring retainers feature wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings to support the springs, reduce stress concentrations, and enhance strength and reliability. With this 6 - pad, spring - centered race disc, the engagement is a bit harsher but the shifting is much faster. It's highly recommended for larger clutch sizes to handle more heat. This part is a perfect fit for multiple models, including 2023 - 2024 Acura Integra A - Spec, 2018 - 2020 Honda Accord Sport, and various Civic trims from 2017 - 2024.
Using this clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and on a stable surface. Follow the standard procedure for removing the old clutch and installing the new ACT 6 - pad clutch kit. When you start using it, be aware that the engagement is harsher compared to regular clutches, but it allows for faster shifting. This is normal and part of its high - performance design. As for maintenance, check the clutch periodically for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any strange noises or a decrease in performance, it's a good idea to have it inspected. Keep the clutch clean and dry to prevent any damage. Also, make sure to use it within the recommended operating conditions of your vehicle to ensure its long - term reliability.
