ACT 1990 Eagle Talon MaXX/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit
ACT MB1-XXG6 is the strongest single-disc kit ACT builds on the MB1 platform: a MaXX Xtreme pressure plate with a sprung six-pad ceramic disc. It is meant for 4G63 turbo Eagle Talon TSi, Mitsubishi Eclipse GST/GSX and Plymouth Laser RS cars running big turbos, high boost and hard launches, where a Heavy Duty or Xtreme plate has already started to slip. If your DSM clutch lets go at the top of second or third on a pull, or the disc keeps coming out glazed, this kit is the step up.
The MaXX plate is ACT's highest-clamp diaphragm for this application, and the six ceramic pads concentrate that load on a smaller friction area that handles heat far better than an organic lining. ACT rates the kit at 570 ft-lb at the crank, 125 percent over the factory clutch. The disc is 224 mm (8.8 in) on a 0.875 in input spline, and the spring center damps torsional vibration so the gearbox sees less shock than it would with a rigid race hub.
The price is pedal feel. ACT describes it as heavy to very heavy pedal effort with aggressive engagement, quick shifts and mild to moderate gear rattle. On a DSM with a tired clutch fork, pivot or master cylinder, that heavier pedal will expose the weak link, so this kit is best on a car that is truly built and driven hard.
Verify it is the clutch and not the release side. Bleed the hydraulics, check the fork and pivot ball for wear, and make sure the pedal returns fully, since anything holding the clutch partly open will slip a new disc as fast as an old one. Check for oil on the bellhousing from the rear main seal. Then run a low-rpm pull in third and watch for rpm rising faster than speed. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers that test, and shift flare vs. slip helps separate a real slip from a flare between gears.
This listing is titled for the 1990 Eagle Talon. ACT applies MB1-XXG6 to the 1990-1998 Talon 2.0L turbo, the 1990-1999 Eclipse 2.0L turbo (4G63T, FWD and AWD) and 1990-1994 Plymouth Laser 2.0L turbo, plus 1991-1992 Galant VR-4 and several non-turbo Mitsubishi and Chrysler applications including the 1991-1996 Dodge Stealth and 1991-1999 3000GT non-turbo, the 1996-2005 Eclipse 2.4L and the 2003-2004 Sebring 2.4L. The kit does not fit the 2.0L non-turbo DSM. First-gen and second-gen DSMs use different flywheels, so keep your flywheel matched to your engine; send us your year and VIN if you are not sure.

If the heavy pedal is too much for your use, the MB1-XTG6 uses the Xtreme plate with the same style of disc, and the MB1-HDSS pairs a Heavy Duty plate with an organic street disc.

ACT rates it heavy to very heavy. It is the highest clamp load in the MB1 line, so expect a noticeably stiffer pedal than stock or a Heavy Duty plate.
Yes. ACT lists 1992-1999 Eclipse 2.0L turbo and 1992-1998 Talon 2.0L turbo, FWD and AWD, along with the 1990-1992 cars.
No. The kit contains the MB010XX plate, 6224704 disc, AT20 alignment tool and RB210 release bearing. Resurface your flywheel or buy one matched to your engine.
ACT recommends it for high horsepower street or race use. With aggressive engagement and a very heavy pedal, a lower-power daily car is better served by an HD or XT kit.
ACT says race discs usually need only a few hard slips to lap in the surfaces, and warns not to overheat the clutch while breaking it in.
