Performance Clutch Pressure Plates

Manual transmissions are making a major comeback in the performance world. Admit it, there's no thrill in racing an automatic-equipped car. No one gets excited about clicking a shifter to get down the track but stepping a clutch will get your adrenaline pumping. If you believe that real cars have three pedals, you've come to the right place. Whether you have a four-, five-, or six-speed manual gearbox, we've got great performance parts to get that power to the wheels.

A clutch assembly is a crucial part in the chain of power between the engine and the wheels as it is responsible for making firm connection. The pressure plate's function is to apply the clamp load to squeeze the clutch plate firmly between the pressure plate and flywheel. When it comes to high performance transmissions, major types of pressure plates are the coil spring and the diaphragm. The diaphragm is today's most widespread configuration for street use because it is more effective at the typical rpm ranges encountered by street performance cars.

If you spend every other weekend replacing clutch parts, it's probably time for you to think about getting some high-performance components. To achieve smooth engagement and superior holding power of your clutch assembly, you need a premium pressure plate to complete your performance upgrade. We offer a wide variety of diaphragm pressure plates from the leading names in the automotive aftermarket such as Centerforce and Hays. A diaphragm pressure plate features some great advantages that make it a perfect choice for a wide range of performance applications. It is more lightweight, it requires less pedal effort and provides smooth clutch engagement.

Replace your stock pressure plate with a more reliable part with a higher holding capacity. Choosing the right clutch pressure plate for your application is the key to better shifts. New strides in pressure plate developments allow for making them more durable while increasing higher holding capacity. CARiD strives to provide you with top of the line pressure plates that bring the ultimate in street/strip holding power without sacrificing pedal effort. So if you want your manual transmission to reward you with outstanding performance, you should get only top quality transmission parts.
