Organic, spring center replacement disc designed for smooth engagement,
quiet operation and improved durability. We offer the best brands and
type for the application. Some OE Street Clutch discs can be used with
moderate to heavy duty applications including racing depending on torque
output and heat. When a Performance OrganicOE disc is available the
suffix "S" will appear in the disc part number. These discs use special
performance linings that are designed to withstand high heat and high
RPM. When the suffix "M" appears, the disc has been modified by reducing
the marcel enabling quicker action. With all the hype about different
lining materials available we still contend that nothing can beat a
good quality full face organic disc for street use. This same clutch
performance lining is available for several applications where there
is a particular need.These clutch discs take a lot of abuse and yet
engage smoothly.

These pads (pucks, buttons) are solidly mounted, highly durable and resistant
to heat. They actually perform better when hot! The copper ceramic material
holds approximately 32% more torque than an organic lining. Copper ceramic
discs engage fairly harsh and are not normally recommended for street
use. The high copper content of the material helps to absorb heat and
reduce the temperature of the mating parts. Shifting is quick and sure
due to the lightweight rigid design. No worries about broken center sections
or springs. 6 pad discs are recommended for larger sizes to absorb more
heat and for smoother engagement.

Great holding power, better 60ft & 1/4 mile times, and
long life are all benefits that come along with these plates. What makes
our ACT Clutch pressure plates the highest standard of the industry?
First, we start off with new units. We do not offer rebuilds (except
for special circumstances or warrantee work). Second, we increase the
pressure the right way: by changing the diaphragm. Our clutch diaphragms
are specially heat treated through an exclusive 3 stage process and
then hardened on the clutch release bearing contact area to reduce wear.
Third, we make sure that the pressure curve and release travel of the
unit is in the right working range. Forth, we use proven assembly procedures
that insures consistency and precision. Finally, we accurately balance
and test every clutch Kit we offer No guesswork, no hype, only proven
engineering and calculated results.

The maximum holding power available! Our solution: apply more diaphragm
pressure. With a less aggressive street disc, this makes a great combination
for high HP street cars that prefer smooth engagement. For racing, combine
our ACT Clutch Xtreme Pressure Plate with our Xtreme Disc for the ultimate
in torque capacity and durability. What makes these ACT Clutch units
so unique is a radical increase in pressure without altering the proper
geometry or stacking of diaphragms. The result is maximum holding pressure
and long life, while maintaining good release clearance for fast, clean
shifting. This can only be done with a specially engineered diaphragm.
On some units, like the one shown above, we actually include gusseting
the cover to reduce flex caused by the the high pressure. These clutches
are made with the same high standard as our heavy duty pressure plates.
You will find these on many of the fastest cars on the track. How do
they feel? A little stiff, but smooth! Xtreme Pressure Plates can be
identified throughout the application chart when the pressure plate
number is followed by a suffix "X".
