Performance Features

The GM3-HDG6 kit features ACT's renowned Heavy Duty pressure plate, which utilizes an exclusive diaphragm design. This design increases clamp load, reduces deflection, and maximizes clutch life, ensuring you get the most out of your setup. Each diaphragm undergoes a rigorous four-stage heat-treating process, enhancing performance and longevity.

ACT’s 6-pad, spring-centered race disc is engineered to dampen torsional vibrations while resisting failure under extreme conditions. The engagement is more aggressive, allowing for quicker shifts, making it perfect for those who appreciate the thrill of high-performance driving.

Owners of classic Chevy models have reported excellent performance after installing the GM3-HDG6 kit. One 1970 Chevelle owner noted, “The clutch engagement is precise and aggressive, giving me the confidence to push my car harder on the track without any slip.” Another customer with a 1985 Camaro said, “I love how quickly I can shift now—no more waiting for the clutch to catch!”
