Key Features

The ACT MaXXX Extreme Pressure Plate incorporates several innovative features that set it apart from standard OEM components:

• Exclusive Diaphragm Design: Utilizes a specialized diaphragm spring that increases clamp load by 70 to 150 percent, providing superior holding capacity for high-torque applications.
• Heat-Treated Components: All diaphragms undergo a four-stage heat-treating process, enhancing durability and resistance to warping or fatigue during intense use.
• Precision Cover Stampings: The cover is stamped with precision to ensure rigidity and consistency, resulting in a stable and reliable clutch engagement.
• Enhanced Clamp Load: Significantly improves the pressure exerted on the clutch disc, supporting increased horsepower and torque transfer.
• Designed for Race Use: Recommended for use with a race disc, making it suitable for competitive environments where maximum clamping force is essential.
• Durability and Reliability: Engineered to withstand high temperatures and stress, extending the lifespan of your clutch system.
• Optimized for Performance: Provides a firm pedal feel and consistent engagement, critical for precise control during aggressive driving or racing.

Construction & Design

The ACT MaXXX Extreme Pressure Plate is constructed from high-quality materials designed to endure the rigors of high-performance driving. The diaphragm spring is crafted from advanced steel alloys and undergoes a meticulous four-stage heat treatment process, ensuring maximum strength and resilience. The cover stamping is precisely manufactured to maintain structural integrity and prevent deformation under load.

The design features a robust, one-piece construction that guarantees uniform pressure distribution across the clutch disc, reducing uneven wear and promoting longer component life. Its engineered geometry ensures optimal engagement and disengagement characteristics, providing a predictable pedal feel even under extreme conditions. The pressure plate's heat-resistant properties help it maintain performance during prolonged high-temperature operation, making it a reliable upgrade for racing or spirited street driving.

Installation & Fitment

The ACT MaXXX Extreme Clutch Pressure Plate is a bolt-on upgrade that directly replaces the factory pressure plate on your Honda Civic Del Sol (96). No cutting, drilling, or special modifications are required for installation. However, due to the increased clamp load and performance characteristics, it is recommended to pair this pressure plate with a suitable race disc and perform proper clutch setup to ensure optimal operation.

• Ensure your clutch disc is compatible with high clamp load pressure plates.
• Follow all manufacturer instructions for installation and break-in procedures.
• Professional installation is recommended for best results and safety.
