ACT 08-09 Dodge Caliber SRT-4 HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit
The Caliber SRT-4 only ran for two model years, and most survivors have a turbo upgrade, a tune or both. When the factory clutch starts slipping as boost builds, the ACT DC2-HDG6 is the race-oriented answer: a Heavy Duty pressure plate, a 6-pad sprung ceramic disc, a matched single-mass flywheel and a new release bearing, all for the 2008-2009 Caliber SRT-4 with the 2.4L turbocharged World engine.
From the factory the SRT-4 made 285 hp and 265 lb-ft and sent it to the front wheels through a Getrag six-speed manual. Turbocharged front-drive cars are hard on clutches because peak torque hits in a narrow band and wheel hop shocks the driveline. ACT rates the DC2-HDG6 at 525 ft-lb at the crank, 60 percent over the stock clutch, using its D019 Heavy Duty pressure plate for more clamp load and a 240 mm 6-pad ceramic disc (6240508-1) with a sprung hub to damp torsional vibration.
ACT is specific about the flywheel: the kit must be used with the ACT single-mass XACT Streetlite flywheel 601000, which comes in the box. The factory flywheel is not reused, and mixing the race disc with a stock flywheel is outside ACT's application.
Run a gentle pull in a high gear from low rpm. If engine speed rises faster than road speed, the clutch is slipping. If instead the clutch will not release and gears grind, the problem may be hydraulic, not friction. Our flare vs slip guide explains how real slip feels, and the clutch will not disengage guide covers the release side. For the rest of the platform, see Dodge Caliber transmission problems.
ACT lists DC2-HDG6 for the 2008 and 2009 Dodge Caliber SRT-4 with the 2.4L turbo only. Regular Calibers use a different engine and most have a CVT, so this kit does not apply to them. Confirm with year and VIN if the car has had an engine or transmission swap. For a street-driven SRT-4 with a mild tune, the DC2-HDSS street kit uses the same pressure plate with a smoother organic disc. More options live in our rebuild kits.

No. ACT lists DC2-HDG6 only for the 2008-2009 Caliber SRT-4 with the 2.4L turbo and six-speed manual.
Yes. The kit includes the ACT XACT Streetlite single-mass flywheel 601000, and ACT says the kit must be used with that flywheel.
ACT rates it at 525 ft-lb at the crank, 60 percent more than the factory clutch.
The kit already includes a release bearing. Inspect and replace the rear main seal and input seal if they show any seepage, and check the fork and pivot for wear.
The 6-pad ceramic disc engages more abruptly than an organic disc and can add mild gear rattle. For a mostly street car, the DC2-HDSS is the smoother option.
