Key Features

The ACT Extreme Clutch 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, providing superior holding capacity and reducing clutch slip during high-stress conditions.
• Heat-Treated Components: All diaphragms undergo a four-stage heat-treating process, ensuring unparalleled strength, resilience, and long-term durability even under aggressive use.
• Precision Cover Stampings: The pressure plate features meticulously stamped covers that enhance rigidity and ensure consistent pressure application across the clutch disc.
• Increased Clamp Load: Capable of boosting clamp force by 50% to 120%, depending on application, translating to improved power transfer and reduced clutch fade.
• Enhanced Durability: Designed to withstand high temperatures and repeated engagement cycles, making it suitable for both street and race applications.
• Optimized for Street or Race Discs: Compatible with a variety of clutch discs, especially those intended for high-performance or racing use, providing flexibility for your build.
• Rigidity and Consistency: Ensures smooth engagement and reliable operation, reducing the risk of clutch chatter or slipping during intense driving.

Construction & Design

The ACT T021X pressure plate is crafted from high-quality steel and engineered with precision to meet the demanding needs of performance enthusiasts. Its diaphragm spring is carefully heat-treated to maximize strength and fatigue resistance, ensuring consistent performance over countless miles or racing sessions. The cover stamping process enhances structural integrity, preventing deformation under high loads. The overall design emphasizes heat dissipation and stress distribution, helping maintain optimal operating temperatures and prolonging component life.

Performance & Sound

With its increased clamp load and robust construction, this pressure plate provides a noticeable improvement in clutch holding capacity, especially during aggressive driving or high-power applications. While it does not directly increase horsepower, it ensures that your existing power is effectively transferred to the wheels without slippage. The enhanced engagement may produce a firmer pedal feel and a more responsive clutch pedal, giving you greater control and confidence behind the wheel.

Installation & Fitment

The ACT Extreme Clutch Pressure Plate is designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory component on the 1993 Toyota 4Runner with a 3.0L V6 engine. Installation typically requires standard mechanical skills, and no modifications to the vehicle are necessary. It is recommended to replace the clutch disc and release bearing simultaneously to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Proper alignment and torque specifications should be followed during installation to achieve the best results. No special tuning or adjustments are usually required after installation.
