ACT 2014 Ford Focus HD/Race Rigid 6 Pad Clutch Kit
The ACT FF2-HDR6 is a race clutch kit for the Ford Focus ST with the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder and six-speed manual. Our listing is labeled 2014; ACT's own application chart lists the FF2-HDR6 for 2013, 2014 and 2015 Focus ST models. It is meant for tuned ST owners whose stock or street clutch now slips as boost builds in third and fourth gear, and who are using the car on track or at the strip. ACT rates it at 574 ft-lb of crank torque, 72 percent over the factory clutch.
The kit pairs ACT's Heavy Duty pressure plate (F023) with a 240 mm, 6-pad rigid ceramic race disc (6240008-2), a new release bearing (RB009) and an alignment tool (AT130). ACT's Heavy Duty diaphragm raises clamp load over stock, and the ceramic pads tolerate far more heat than an organic facing. The disc is rigid, meaning it has no springs in the hub, which saves weight and speeds up shifts but sends more driveline shock through the car. ACT is direct about the trade-off: aggressive engagement, increased gear rattle, a rigid design that may increase spline wear, and a recommendation for race use only. A Focus ST that is driven mostly on the street will be happier with a sprung or organic disc.
Confirm it is the clutch and not the hydraulics or a sensor issue. Check the clutch fluid level and condition, bleed the system if the pedal feels soft, and look for oil or fluid at the bellhousing seam, since a leak will ruin a new ceramic disc too. A slipping clutch shows engine speed rising while road speed does not, in a gear-locked manual where there is no shift event to blame. Our transmission slipping diagnosis guide walks through those checks, and the manual transmission repair cost guide explains what a clutch job typically costs.
This kit fits the Ford Focus ST 2.0L EcoBoost with the six-speed manual. ACT lists 2013, 2014 and 2015 model years; it is not for the regular non-ST Focus, and it is not part of the PowerShift dual-clutch automatic. The kit uses the 1 in. input shaft spline and includes pressure plate bolts (M8-1.25 x 20 mm). It does not include a flywheel, so inspect yours before install. If you have a 2016-2018 car or want a kit with a single-mass flywheel, look at ACT's FF5 kits such as the FF5-HDG6 sprung race kit. For a street-friendly option on the same FF2 platform, ACT's FF2-HDSD Heavy Duty street kit uses an organic disc rated at 449 ft-lb. If you are not sure which fits, send us your year and VIN.

No. It is for the Focus ST manual. Non-ST Focus models use different clutch hardware, and models with the PowerShift automatic use a dual-clutch transmission, not this kit.
ACT recommends this kit for race use only. The rigid ceramic disc engages aggressively and increases gear rattle. For street use, the organic FF2-HDSD is the better choice.
The ACT F023 Heavy Duty pressure plate, 6240008-2 6-pad rigid race disc, RB009 release bearing, AT130 alignment tool and pressure plate bolts. A flywheel is not included.
ACT rates it at 574 ft-lb measured at the crank, 72 percent over the factory clutch.
ACT says race discs usually need only a few hard slips to lap in the surfaces. Avoid overheating the clutch during that time to prevent glazing and hot spots.
