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 Xtreme Pressure Plate with our Xtreme
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 the
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, such as the Eclipse / Talon, we actually include
gusseting in the pressure plate cover to reduce flex caused by the high pressure. These
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 by the pressure plates part number having
a suffix of "X".
