Dealing with increased power output from the 7MGTE meant upgrading the clutch system to better transfer the power to the ground. An ACT pressure plate provides 30% increase in clamping power. Combined with better friction clutch disk it improves clutch grip and holding capacity while providing perfectly streetable slip without chatter, with near stock pedal feel. To allow more power from the engine to go directly to the wheels the stock, heavy flywheel was replaced with XTD Prolite chromoly lightweight flywheel. Made from high-carbon steel, its surface allows the use of any type of friction disk, from carbon-kevlar, ceramic copper, to sintered iron. Much lighter than stock (12 lbs), it allows for better engine response and faster acceleration.
