The NX1 - HDG6 kit comes with ACT's top - selling Heavy Duty pressure plate. This pressure plate uses an exclusive diaphragm design that boosts the clamp load, cuts down deflection, and significantly extends the clutch life. All diaphragms go through a four - stage heat - treating process for unmatched performance. The ACT pressure plates have precision cover stampings for better rigidity and consistency. ACT's 6 - pad, spring - centered race disc has a spring - center to effectively damp torsional vibrations and withstand harsh conditions. The spring retainers feature wraparound spring windows and thicker stampings, providing spring support, reducing stress concentrations, and increasing strength and reliability. With this 6 - pad, spring - centered race disc, you'll experience a harsher engagement but faster shifting. It's ideal for larger clutch sizes as it can absorb more heat. This part fits a wide range of Nissan models including 1995 - 1998 240SX Base, 1997 - 1998 240SX LE, and many others from different years and sub - models.
Using this clutch kit is straightforward. First, make sure your vehicle is turned off and parked on a flat surface. Then, carefully replace your old clutch with the ACT NX1 - HDG6 kit following the standard clutch replacement procedures. When driving with this kit, expect a harsher engagement at the start, but enjoy the faster shifting. Remember, since it's a high - performance kit, it might wear out faster under extreme driving conditions. For maintenance, regularly check the clutch for any signs of excessive wear, such as slipping or difficulty in shifting. If you notice any issues, it's best to have it inspected by a professional mechanic. Also, keep the clutch clean and free from debris to ensure its long - term performance.
