ACT HD-O/Perf Street Sprung Clutch Kit, 2012-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK | JP4-HDSS

The JP4-HDSS kit pairs ACT's highly regarded Heavy Duty pressure plate with its most popular street disc for the Jeep Wrangler JK, delivering generous torque capacity, a smooth precise feel, quiet operation, and added toughness for spirited street and off-road use. The Heavy Duty pressure plate's exclusive diaphragm design increases clamp load and reduces deflection, with four-stage heat treating and precision cover stampings that provide rigidity while precision-machined castings absorb heat. The Performance Street disc uses robust center sections and premium organic friction material for wear resistance and improved heat capacity, and is steel-backed for greater burst strength and durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are ACT clutch kits balanced?

Yes. Every ACT clutch assembly is computer spin-balanced to within .25 oz-in, tighter than the .50 oz-in typical of stock production clutches, for smoother operation across the RPM range.

Will this clutch increase pedal effort?

ACT pressure plates are engineered for higher torque capacity, so pedal effort typically increases 15-40% with a Heavy Duty pressure plate and 50-80% with an Xtreme pressure plate compared to stock, depending on the application.

Does this clutch need a break-in period?

Organic street discs should be broken in for 300-500 miles of mild, stop-and-go driving before spirited use. Race discs generally only need a few hard slips to lap the surfaces before normal use. Avoid overheating the clutch during break-in, as this can glaze the friction surfaces.

Is this clutch kit repairable or rebuildable?

In some cases a rebuild or repair may be possible after inspection; contact ACT's technical department for guidance, and use a qualified clutch specialist due to the kit's specialized components.
