If you're looking to take your Mustang's clutch game to the next level, the Advanced Clutch Xtreme Pressure Plate F013X is where it’s at. This isn’t just another part; it’s a serious upgrade that brings some real benefits to the table. With its unique diaphragm design, you’re getting a boost in clamp load—think 50 to 120 percent more grip compared to stock. That means your clutch is going to hold up better under pressure, whether you’re hitting the streets or the track.
What I really appreciate about this pressure plate is how it’s built. Each diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process to ensure it can handle the heat—literally. Plus, ACT does a great job with the precision cover stampings, which adds a nice level of rigidity and consistency. You want a clutch that performs well at high RPMs? This one’s been 100% clamp load tested and dynamically balanced, so you can count on smooth operation when you really need it.
Now, let’s talk about the feel. You’ll notice a moderate to heavy pedal effort with positive engagement. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you’re serious about driving, you’ll appreciate the feedback you get. The durability is also a big plus; it’s engineered and assembled with care, so you know it’s going to last.
Here are some specs to chew on:
