Let’s talk about the Advanced Clutch Heavy Duty Pressure Plate J010. If you’re serious about getting the most out of your Jeep, this is one piece of gear you don’t want to overlook. It’s got this unique diaphragm design that really cranks up the clamp load while keeping pedal effort manageable—perfect for those of us who enjoy a bit of spirited driving without feeling like we’re wrestling with the clutch. It’s all about that balance, right?

What I love about this pressure plate is the four-stage heat-treating process that each diaphragm goes through. This isn’t just some marketing fluff; it actually translates to performance you can feel. You’ll notice less deflection when you’re shifting hard, which means more power gets to the wheels instead of getting lost in the system. Plus, the precision pressure plate cover stampings are designed to provide that extra rigidity and consistency you need, especially when the heat is on.

Now, if you’re thinking about using this with a street or race disc, you’re in good hands. The Heavy Duty pressure plates from ACT boost the clamp load by 20 to 50 percent. That’s a serious upgrade if you’re looking to enhance your ride’s responsiveness and overall performance. And don’t worry about it being too stiff; the pedal effort stays light to moderate, so you won’t feel like you’re working out every time you shift.

On top of that, this pressure plate is built for durability. It’s been carefully engineered and precisely assembled, so you know it’s ready to handle whatever you throw at it—be it street, off-road, or race conditions. The 100% clamp load testing and dynamic computer balancing ensure that you get smooth reliability even at high RPMs. Plus, key areas are induction hardened to extend its life, which is always a bonus.

For those who like to geek out over specs, here’s the scoop: it’s a 10.5-inch diameter plate (that’s 266 mm for the metric folks), weighing in at 16.9 lbs. It’s classified as Heavy Duty and is definitely a performance-grade piece of equipment.
