If you're looking to upgrade your clutch setup, the Advanced Clutch Heavy Duty Pressure Plate MZ018 is a solid choice that really steps up the game. This isn't just any pressure plate; it features a unique diaphragm design that ramps up the clamp load while cutting down on deflection. What does that mean for you? Basically, it maximizes the life of your clutch, so you can spend more time enjoying the drive and less time worrying about replacements.

Now, I’ve had my fair share of clutch issues, and I can tell you that the heat-treating process that all ACT diaphragms go through is no joke. They really put these through a rigorous four-stage treatment to ensure top-notch performance. Plus, the precision cover stampings give it that extra rigidity and consistency you want when you're pushing your car to its limits. We're talking about a clamp load increase of 20 to 50 percent here, which is pretty impressive when paired with a street or race disc.

Thinking about installation?

What’s great about this pressure plate?

  • You'll notice light to moderate pedal effort, which means you won't feel like you're wrestling with your car every time you shift.
  • Thanks to that exclusive diaphragm design, you can expect your disc life to last longer—always a plus.
  • It's engineered with durability in mind, meticulously assembled and balanced so you can trust it under pressure.
  • Whether you're hitting the streets or the track, this pressure plate has got you covered.
  • It's 100% clamp load tested and dynamically balanced, so you can count on it for smooth, high RPM reliability.

Here are some specs you might find handy:

  • Diameter: 8.8 inches (224 mm)
  • Type: Heavy Duty
  • Grade Type: Performance
  • Counterweight Assist: No
  • Product Weight: 9.6 lbs
  • SFI Rating: 1.1

Fits these models:

  • Ford Probe (1992-1997)
  • Mazda 626 (1993-2002)
  • Mazda MX-6 (1993-1997)
  • Mazda Protege (2001-2003)
  • Mazda Protege5 (2002-2003)

So, if you want a reliable, heavy-duty pressure plate that’s built to last and can handle both street and race conditions, the MZ018 is definitely worth considering. Trust me, you won't regret it.
