Below is a general manufacturer product group description. Please note the information below is not item specific. Item specifics are above in product details.

When your engine puts out performance, you need a pressure plate that can handle it properly. All ACT pressure plates provide a generous increase in clamp load which directly increases torque capacity.
ACT heat-treats their diaphragms using an exclusive 3-stage process. They also harden the release bearing contact area to reduce wear. Each pressure plate is designed in the optimum working range for maximum clutch life, clamp load, and release travel. Every pressure plate is tested to insure proper clamp load every time.
Offered in four configurations, ACT has the perfect pressure plate for your application!
