Building an engine to produce more power is useless if you can’t get that power to the ground. Having the proper drivetrain performance parts is essential in any modified car because most factory transmission parts can’t handle the increase in engine horsepower. The next issue in beefing up your transmission is figuring out which ACT Pressure Plate to use in place of your stock pressure plate.
The Modified Life staff has compiled an online catalog of performance pressure plate reviews, performance pressure plate ratings, pressure plate ratings, pressure plate reviews, ACT Xtreme pressure plate reviews, ACT Xtreme pressure plate ratings, ACT pressure plate reviews, ACT pressure plate ratings, ACT Xtreme reviews, ACT Xtreme ratings, ACT parts reviews and ACT parts ratings for use by our visitors for free. Our performance parts reviews and performance parts ratings allow you to make an informative decision when choosing the best clutch disc or clutch replacement.
The ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate diaphragms are induction hardened on the release bearing contact area to reduce wear and promote smooth operation. Cover stampings of the ACT Xtreme Pressure Plates are sometimes reinforced by ACT to reduce flex and improve the efficiency and feel of the pressure plate. Stronger drive straps and rivets are used when needed to strengthen the pressure plate and prevent breakage.
ACT load tests every ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate on a special computerized testing press for quality assurance. This same machine also assists in designing new products and evaluating parts that are in for service. Proper release travel, clamp load, pedal effort, and working range are analyzed using specialized testing equipment and software. All ACT Xtreme Pressure Plate castings are CNC machined for greater consistency and precision. ACT Xtreme Pressure Plates feature a special single diaphragm design to dramatically increase clamp load without the adverse affects of double diaphragm type clutches. Precision cover stampings provide rigidity, consistency and are cost effective.
Creative diaphragm designs are used on the ACT Xtreme Pressure Plates to increase clamp load, reduce deflection and maximize clutch life. All diaphragms endure an exclusive four stage heat treating process for unparalleled performance. Most ACT pressure plates are certified as meeting SFI Specification 1.1. and are legal for competition in all racing organizations where SFI certification is required. All ACT Xtreme Pressure Plates are dynamically computer balanced for smooth operation at high rpm.
