The pressure plate and disc assembled onto a flywheel. |

The ACT disc shown sitting on the pressure plate's friction surface. |

The outer face of the ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate. |

The friction surface of the ACT Heavy Duty pressure plate. |

All clutch installations will need the flywheel resurfaced. This flywheel was cracked from heat caused by a slipping stock clutch. These light surface cracks are about at the limit of what can be resurfaced away. |
 |
You can see from the wear and heat marks on this flywheel that a lot of the available friction area of the V-6 clutch is not used. ACT chose to use a larger clutch disc to take full advantage of the large area. |
 |
Here is a stock disc shown sitting on the Clutch friction surface. All of the available area here too is not used. |
 |
Now the larger ACT disc on the same pressure plate. Note how much farther to the edge the disc is now. This larger friction area and resulting increased torque allow much more grip with no down side. Release and engagement is still smooth but torque handling capacity is increased by over 50%. |
Tech Note:This ACT clutch will not fit on the similar Stratus. The flywheel that Chrysler used is stepped instead of flat and is different. While there is a possibility that is could be made to work with the correct flywheel or by somehow adapting it to fit, we have not tried it. Order it at your own risk for other cars or applications. |
