Organic, spring center replacement Specialist 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
ACT 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 Specialist clutch pressure plates the highest standard
of the industry? First, we start off with new clutch 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 ACT
Clutch Kit we offer No guesswork, no hype,
only proven engineering and calculated results.

The maximum holding power available! How to : 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 Xtreme Pressure Plate
with our race disc for the ultimate in torque capacity and durability.
What makes these 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
clutch 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".
