ACT 1988 Toyota Supra HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit
ACT TS2-HDG6 is the Heavy Duty plate and six-pad race disc combination for the third-generation Toyota Supra Turbo with the 3.0L 7M-GTE. Our listing is for the 1988 car. It is the middle ground many MK3 owners land on: enough clamp and heat capacity for a turbo upgrade and higher boost, without the heavier pedal of ACT's Xtreme plate. If your Supra flares at full boost, smells hot after a hard run, or chatters on takeoff, this kit is built for that problem.
ACT packs five parts: the T015 Heavy Duty pressure plate, the 6240607 six-pad sprung race disc, an RB419 release bearing, a PB1004 pilot bearing and the AT11 alignment tool. A flywheel is not included.
ACT rates the assembled kit at 570 ft-lb at the crank, 88 percent over the factory clutch, on a 9.4 in (240 mm) ceramic disc with a 1.125 in input spline. The Heavy Duty diaphragm raises clamp load while ACT describes the pedal as light to moderate, which is the main reason to choose it over the Xtreme TS2-XTG6; that kit uses the same disc with a stiffer plate and a 630 ft-lb rating. The six ceramic pads handle far more heat than organic friction, and the sprung hub damps the torsional pulses a turbo inline six puts into the gearbox. Engagement is aggressive, so a car that mostly commutes may be happier with the TS2-HDSS full-face street kit.
Check the hydraulics first. A tired slave cylinder or air in the line causes grinding into gear and a soft pedal, not slip under load. Then run a third-gear pull from low rpm at full boost and watch whether rpm races ahead of speed. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the test step by step, and shift flare vs. slip helps you read what the tach is telling you. Inspect for oil at the bellhousing as well; a leaking rear main seal will contaminate a new disc and bring the slip right back.
ACT's chart for TS2-HDG6 lists the turbocharged 2954 cc Toyota Supra from 1986 through 1992, plus the JDM Supra 2.5 GT Twin Turbo (1986-1992) and JDM Soarer GT (1991-1996). Our listing is for the 1988 Supra. Non-turbo MK3 cars and the 1993-1998 MK4 Supra are not on that chart, and ACT has several TS-series kits with similar names. Match the part number TS2-HDG6 to what you need, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it before it ships. More clutch hardware is in our rebuild kits section.

No. The kit has the T015 pressure plate, 6240607 six-pad sprung disc, RB419 release bearing, PB1004 pilot bearing and AT11 alignment tool.
ACT rates TS2-HDG6 at 570 ft-lb at the crank, 88 percent over the factory clutch.
Both use the same six-pad sprung ceramic disc. HDG6 has the Heavy Duty plate with a lighter pedal and a 570 ft-lb rating; XTG6 has the Xtreme plate, a heavier pedal and a 630 ft-lb rating.
ACT describes aggressive engagement and recommends it for high horsepower street or race use. For a mostly street car, the TS2-HDSS with the same plate and a full-face disc engages more smoothly.
