Product Description

The ACT MB018 Heavy Duty Clutch Pressure Plate is engineered as a performance-upgraded replacement pressure plate for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution series and related Lancer models equipped with a 2.0 L turbocharged engine and manual transmission. This heavy duty diaphragm plate increases clamp load by approximately 20 %-50 % compared to stock, delivering improved holding power and enhanced durability in demanding street and motorsport environments. Its exclusive four-stage heat-treated diaphragm design and precision construction maximize clutch life and reduce deflection under load.

Featuring ACT's patented Monoloc one-piece design, the MB018 replaces the standard two-piece wedge collar and wire ring found in many pull-type clutches, ensuring proper alignment and consistent engagement. Dynamic computer balancing and 100 % clamp load testing further ensure reliable performance and smooth operation at high RPMs. The lighter-than-stock pedal effort and positive engagement make this pressure plate a solid choice for street performance builds or track-oriented clutch upgrades when paired with an appropriate clutch disc.
