If you?re looking to up your clutch game, the Advanced Clutch Xtreme Pressure Plate SB018X is worth a serious look. This isn?t just another pressure plate; it?s crafted with an exclusive diaphragm design that cranks up the clamp load, cuts down on deflection, and helps your clutch last longer. I?ve put this thing through its paces, and trust me, it delivers. Each diaphragm goes through a four-stage heat-treating process, so you know it?s built to handle the heat?literally and figuratively.

One of the standout features of this pressure plate is its precision cover stamping. It?s not just for show; it adds a level of rigidity and consistency that you can feel during those hard shifts. The Xtreme series boosts clamp load by a whopping 50 to 120 percent, which means you can really dig into your performance, whether you?re on the street or the track. And if you're using it with a street or race disc, you?re in for a treat.

Now, let?s talk about the Monoloc feature. This one-piece design is a direct replacement for the usual two-piece wedge collar and wire ring found in pull-type clutches. The spring tension on the segmented retaining ring is spot-on, ensuring that the bearing and pressure plate stay aligned, no matter how you drive or what mods you've done. Plus, the Monoloc is built from hardened chrome-moly steel, so it?s tough enough to last.
