The Z65-XTG6 kit comes with an Xtreme pressure plate, perfect for the most demanding drivers. ACT's Xtreme pressure plates feature an exclusive diaphragm design. This design boosts the clamp load, reduces deflection, and maximizes the clutch's lifespan. All diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process for top - notch performance. The ACT pressure plates have precision cover stampings, ensuring rigidity and consistency. ACT's 6 - pad spring - centered race disc has a spring - center construction. It effectively dampens torsional vibrations and resists failure in tough conditions. The spring retainers use wraparound spring windows and thicker retainer stampings. This provides spring support, reduces stress concentrations, and increases strength and reliability. With the 6 - pad spring - centered race disc, you'll experience a harsher engagement but faster shifting. It's great for larger clutch sizes as it can absorb more heat. This part fits 1988 Mazda RX - 7 10th Anniversary models and 1986 - 1991 Mazda RX - 7 Turbo models.
Using this clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and in a safe, stable position. Carefully remove the old clutch and replace it with this ACT 6 - pad spring - centered race disc and the Xtreme pressure plate. When engaging the clutch, expect a harsher feel, but remember this is normal and it will give you faster shifting. As for maintenance, regularly check the pressure plate and the disc for any signs of wear. If you notice excessive wear or if the clutch isn't performing as well as it used to, it might be time to get it inspected. Also, keep in mind that this kit is designed for specific Mazda RX - 7 models (1988 10th Anniversary and 1986 - 1991 Turbo), so make sure your vehicle matches these specifications before installation.
