What is a pressure plate and why would I upgrade it?

The pressure plate is part of your clutch assembly that clamps the clutch disc against the flywheel. Upgrading to a heavy-duty unit like the ACT H026 increases this clamping force, which helps prevent clutch slippage, especially when using a performance disc or if your vehicle has increased power.

What clutch disc should I use with this pressure plate?

ACT recommends using this Heavy Duty pressure plate with a street or race clutch disc. It's designed to work with discs that can handle the increased clamp load for optimal performance.

Does this pressure plate come with a clutch disc or flywheel?

No, the ACT H026 is a pressure plate only. You will need to purchase a compatible clutch disc and potentially a flywheel separately if needed for your clutch replacement.
