2001 Ford Mustang 4.6L V8 (10 Spline Transmission)

Part #: 6266019

Overview

The ACT 6 Pad Rigid Race Disc 6266019 is a high-performance clutch component designed for enthusiasts who demand maximum durability and aggressive engagement. Crafted with premium ceramic friction materials, this race disc is engineered to withstand the intense heat and stress generated during spirited driving, racing, or heavy-duty applications. Whether you're building a dedicated race car or upgrading your street machine for aggressive driving, this clutch disc offers the reliability and performance you need to push your vehicle to its limits.

Specifically tailored for the 2001 Ford Mustang equipped with a 4.6L V8 engine and a 10-spline transmission, this race disc provides a direct, no-compromise solution for high-performance clutch setups. Its rigid construction ensures minimal flex during engagement, translating to quicker shifts and more precise power transfer. The harsher engagement feel is ideal for drivers seeking maximum control and responsiveness on the track or during aggressive street driving.

Key Features

ACT's 6 Pad Rigid Race Disc is built with several advanced features that set it apart from standard clutch components:

• High-quality ceramic friction materials that resist heat and fade, ensuring consistent performance under demanding conditions.
• Six-pad design provides increased surface area for better heat dissipation and improved torque capacity.
• Rigid construction with top-grade rivets that securely fasten the friction material to the hub, preventing delamination or separation during high-stress use.
• Designed for larger clutch sizes to absorb more heat and handle increased power levels.
• Optimized for aggressive engagement, offering quicker response and minimal slippage during high torque loads.
• Manufactured with precision to ensure perfect fitment and reliable operation in racing or high-performance street applications.
• Suitable for use in vehicles where harsh, race-style engagement is desired, providing maximum control for experienced drivers.

Construction & Design

The ACT 6 Pad Rigid Race Disc features a robust, one-piece hub assembly constructed from high-strength steel, ensuring durability and longevity under extreme conditions. The ceramic friction material is carefully selected for its excellent heat resistance and consistent friction characteristics. The rivet design employs top-grade materials to securely attach the friction pads to the hub, preventing any movement or separation during aggressive use. This rigid design minimizes clutch pedal deflection, resulting in faster, more precise shifts and a more direct feel for the driver.

Installation & Fitment

The ACT 6 Pad Rigid Race Disc is a bolt-on upgrade for vehicles with a 10-spline transmission. Installation requires standard clutch alignment tools and should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with high-performance clutch setups. No modifications to the transmission or flywheel are typically necessary, but it is recommended to inspect and replace the clutch release bearing and pilot bearing during installation to ensure optimal operation. Due to its race-oriented design, some additional tuning or clutch pedal adjustment may be beneficial for optimal engagement.

• Direct bolt-on replacement for factory clutch components.
• No cutting, drilling, or major modifications required.
• Ideal for racing, track days, or high-performance street driving.
