ACT 1992 Honda Civic XT/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit
The ACT HC5-XTG6 is an Xtreme pressure plate and six-pad sprung ceramic race disc for the D-series Honda Civic. Our listing is titled for the 1992 Civic, but ACT applies the same kit to the 1992-2005 Civic with the 1.5L, 1.6L and 1.7L SOHC D-series engines and to the del Sol. It is the kit people look for when a turbocharged or heavily modified D16 or D17 has burned through a stock or street clutch, or when a track car needs a disc that will not fade after repeated hard launches.
The Xtreme pressure plate raises clamp load well above the factory part, and the six ceramic pads on the disc tolerate far more heat than an organic face. ACT rates the HC5-XTG6 at 380 ft-lb at the crank, which it lists as 133 percent over the original clutch. The disc is 212 mm (8.3 in) with a 0.875 in input spline, and the kit weighs 11.2 lb.
The sprung hub matters on a street-driven Civic. The springs in the disc center soften driveline shock, so the car is less harsh on takeoff than a rigid race disc. Even so, ACT describes the feel honestly: moderate to heavy pedal effort, aggressive engagement and OE to mild gear rattle, and it recommends the kit for high-horsepower street or race use. A six-pad ceramic disc grabs quickly, so slipping it gently through traffic takes practice.
Do a full-throttle pull in third from low rpm. If the tach climbs faster than the car accelerates, the disc is slipping. Before tearing the car down, rule out a misadjusted clutch release system, leaking hydraulics or old fluid, since those can mimic a bad clutch. Our slipping diagnosis guide covers the road test, and our flare vs. slip guide explains how to tell real slip from other problems. Then be honest about your power level. A near-stock D16 does not need a race disc; the ACT HC5-HDSS street kit drives much better day to day.
ACT lists the HC5-XTG6 for the 1992-2005 Honda Civic with 1.5L, 1.6L and 1.7L SOHC D-series engines, the 1993-1995 Civic del Sol with 1.5L and 1.6L SOHC D-series engines, and the 1997-2005 Acura EL sold in Canada with the D16Y8 or D17A2 five-speed. ACT lists the 1996-1997 del Sol 1.6L SOHC as a 212 mm conversion application, so confirm your flywheel matches before ordering for that car. DOHC B-series and K-series cars use different kits. Because Honda used several engines in these years, match your engine code and send us your year and VIN if you are unsure. More options are on our rebuild kits page.

Yes, if it has the SOHC D-series engine and a manual transmission. ACT lists the 1992-2005 Civic 1.5L, 1.6L and 1.7L SOHC D-series.
No. The 1999-2000 Si uses the DOHC B16 engine, which takes a different ACT kit.
It can be driven on the street, but ACT describes moderate to heavy pedal effort and aggressive engagement. It is built for high-horsepower street or race cars. A stock or lightly modified car is better served by the HC5-HDSS or HC5-SPSS street kits.
