The HC12 - 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 extends the clutch's lifespan. All diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process for outstanding performance. ACT pressure plates have precisely stamped covers for better rigidity and consistency. The 6 - pad, spring - centered race disc from ACT has a spring - center to dampen torsional vibrations and withstand harsh conditions. Its spring retainers use wraparound spring windows and thicker stampings, providing spring support, reducing stress concentrations, and enhancing strength and reliability. With this 6 - pad, spring - centered race disc, the engagement is firmer, but shifting is quicker. It's a great choice for larger clutch sizes as it can absorb more heat. This part fits 2024 Acura Integra Type S and 2017 - 2021, 2023 - 2024 Honda Civic Type R.
Using this clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and the engine is cool. Then, follow the standard procedure to replace the old clutch with this new one. When installing, ensure all parts are properly aligned. During use, keep in mind that the engagement of this clutch is harsher, so you may need to adjust your driving style a bit for quicker shifting. As for maintenance, regularly check the clutch for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any strange noises or reduced performance, it's a good idea to have it inspected by a professional. Also, keep the clutch clean and free from debris to ensure its long - term reliability.
