ACT 1992 Volkswagen Corrado HD/Race Sprung 6 Pad Clutch Kit
If your 1992 Volkswagen Corrado now makes a lot more power than it left the factory with - a smaller pulley on the G60, a turbo or supercharger on the SLC's VR6 - and the stock clutch is slipping in third and fourth, this is the kit built for that job. ACT VR1-HDG6 pairs ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plate with a 6-pad, spring-centered ceramic race disc and is rated by ACT at 440 ft-lb at the crank, 72 percent over the original clutch.
The pressure plate clamps the disc between itself and the flywheel; that clamp load and the friction material decide how much torque reaches the gearbox before the disc slips. ACT's Heavy Duty diaphragm raises clamp load while keeping pedal effort light to moderate. The 6-pad ceramic disc handles far more heat than an organic street disc, and its sprung hub still damps torsional vibration. The trade-off is engagement: ACT describes it as aggressive, with OE to mild gear rattle. This is a kit for high-horsepower street or track cars, not a stock commuter.
Per ACT, the kit contains:
A flywheel is not included. Total kit weight is 14.2 lb.
Do a slip test: third or fourth gear at about 2,500 rpm, then full throttle. If the tach jumps ahead of road speed, the disc is slipping. Before blaming the disc, check for gear oil or rear-main oil leaking onto the bellhousing - a contaminated disc slips no matter what clamp load you add, so fix the leak while the gearbox is out. If the clutch drags or will not release instead, the problem is usually in the release system; our clutch won't disengage guide walks through it, and how to diagnose slipping covers the road test in more detail.
This listing is the 1992 Corrado, which ACT lists for both the 1.8 L supercharged G60 and the 2.8 L VR6 SLC. ACT catalogs the same VR1-HDG6 for a long run of other VW and Audi applications with the same clutch package, but we sell this page for the Corrado. Corrados have been swapped and rebuilt for decades, so match the 228 mm disc size and spline on your current clutch, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. See all ACT VR1 options, including the HD street-sprung kit if you want softer engagement.

It works, but engagement is harsher and there can be some gear rattle. For a daily driver, the ACT HD street-sprung kit is the smoother choice.
Yes, resurface or replace it. A ceramic disc on a glazed or uneven flywheel chatters and wears quickly.
