ACT, or more commonly known as Advanced Clutch Technology, has been a powerhouse in the drivetrain industry since 1994. Founded in beautiful California, the brand was born from a passion to push the limits of the import performance world.
The founder, Dirk Starksen, didn’t just start from scratch. He previously honed his craft at Kennedy Engineered Products (KEP), a company famous for engine adapters and transaxles. With that deep technical background, Dirk had a rock-solid foundation for building what would become ACT Clutch.
American Made Performance
Much like the legends over at Kooks Headers, ACT is a high-performance, USA-made brand. Every part is designed, crafted, and rigorously tested right here in America. Over the years, Advanced Clutch Tech has evolved into a world-class manufacturer, producing over 2,000 different drivetrain components.
Whether you are looking for a heavy-duty pressure plate, a high-torque clutch kit, or a lightweight flywheel, ACT supports all the top enthusiast platforms, including:
- Subaru: WRX, STI, and BRZ
- Mitsubishi: The legendary Lancer Evolution (EVO)
- Honda & Acura: Civic, Integra, and RSX
