If you're looking to up your clutch game, the Advanced Clutch Xtreme Pressure Plate MZ012X is a solid choice. This isn't just any pressure plate; it's designed with a unique diaphragm setup that cranks up the clamp load while keeping deflection in check. What does that mean for you? Better clutch life and a more responsive feel when you're shifting gears, whether you're on the street or tearing it up at the track.

One of the standout features here is the four-stage heat-treating process that every diaphragm goes through. This isn't just for show; it really boosts performance and durability. Plus, ACT pressure plates are built with precision cover stampings, making them rigid and consistent. You can expect a clamp load increase of anywhere from 50 to 120 percent, which is a game-changer if you're pushing your car to its limits.

Now, let's talk about the pedal feel. You’re looking at a moderate to heavy pedal effort, which means you're going to feel every shift. The engagement is positive, so you know when you're in gear. It's perfect for both street use and race applications. Just keep in mind that this setup is best paired with a street or race disc to really get the most out of it.

When it comes to installation, you can find the instructions here. It’s pretty straightforward, but if you’re not comfortable doing it yourself, I’d recommend getting a pro to handle it.

Specifications:

  • Diameter: 8.8 inches (224 mm)
  • Type: Xtreme
  • Grade Type: Performance
  • Counterweight Assist: No
  • Product Weight: 9.1 lbs
  • SFI: 1.1

This pressure plate fits perfectly with the Mazda Miata from 1990-1997 & 1999-2005. If you're looking to enhance your Miata’s performance, this is a solid upgrade that won’t let you down.
