If you’re looking to upgrade your ride with something that really delivers, let me tell you about the ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate GM013. This isn’t just any pressure plate; it’s got a unique diaphragm design that ramps up the clamp load while cutting down on deflection. What does that mean for you? More grip and a longer clutch life, which is something every car lover can appreciate. After all, no one wants to be replacing their clutch every season.

Now, I’ve put this pressure plate through its paces, and I can vouch for its performance. Each diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, which is pretty impressive. This means it’s built to handle the heat, whether you’re cruising down the street or hitting the track. The precision cover stampings give it that extra rigidity and consistency, so you know it’s not going to let you down when you need it most.

One of the standout features is that it boosts clamp load by 20 to 50 percent. That’s a significant jump, especially if you’re running a street or race disc. You’ll feel the difference in pedal effort, too—it’s light to moderate, but the engagement is super positive. You’re not going to be fighting your clutch when you’re trying to shift gears.

As for installation, I found it pretty straightforward. If you need a little guidance, you can check out the install instructions here. It’s always good to have a roadmap when you’re diving into something like this.

Let’s talk specs for a minute. This bad boy has an 11-inch diameter, or 280 mm if you prefer metric. It’s classified as Heavy Duty and falls into the performance grade type. Weighing in at 24.9 lbs, it’s not the lightest out there, but that’s because it’s built to last. Plus, it’s SFI 1.1 certified, so you know it meets some serious safety standards.

Now, if you’re wondering whether it’ll fit your ride, here’s a quick list of compatible models:

  • Buick Regal 1973-1977
  • Buick Skylark 1961-1972
  • Chevrolet Bel Air 1965-1975
  • Chevrolet Camaro 1967-1981
  • Chevrolet Corvette 1966-1982
  • GMC C/K 1500 1979-1986 & 1988-1995
  • Oldsmobile Cutlass 1965-1973
  • Pontiac Firebird 1973-1976 & 1981

In short, if you’re serious about your car and want a pressure plate that can keep up with your driving style, the ACT Heavy Duty Pressure Plate GM013 is worth considering. It’s built tough, performs well, and will make your driving experience that much better.
