The ACT Z65-HDR6 HD/Race Rigid 6-Pad Clutch Kit is engineered for high-performance Mazda RX-7 applications that demand reliable power transfer, fast shifting, and consistent operation under demanding conditions. This kit combines ACT’s Heavy Duty pressure plate with a rigid six-pad ceramic race disc to deliver increased clamp load, high heat tolerance, and aggressive engagement. It is designed for race use and is suited to drivers who prioritize performance and shift speed over smooth street-oriented engagement.
ACT Heavy Duty pressure plates use an exclusive diaphragm design to increase clamp load, reduce deflection, and help maximize clutch life. Each diaphragm undergoes a four-stage heat-treating process for consistent performance, while precision cover stampings provide rigidity and uniform operation. The pressure plate is 100% clamp-load tested and dynamically computer balanced to support smooth, dependable performance at high engine speeds. The result is light to moderate pedal effort with the holding capability expected from a performance-focused clutch system.
The six-pad rigid race disc uses select ceramic friction materials for excellent heat tolerance and durability. Its heat-treated chrome-moly hub is designed for strength, while the lightweight rigid construction supports quicker shifts and responsive engagement. Because the disc is rigid and uses an aggressive six-pad configuration, engagement is harsher and increased gear rattle may occur; rigid construction can also contribute to additional spline wear. The design is recommended for larger clutch applications where additional heat absorption is beneficial. ACT backs the Z65-HDR6 with a one-year warranty and its commitment to performance engineering. This clutch kit fits listed 1986 through 1991 Mazda RX-7 applications.
