Borge & Beck Pressure Plate
Borg & Beck clutches are used in applications where high RPM is a consideration, or for Chrysler and AMC applications where fitting a Long Style clutch may be a problem. All RAM units are assembled using explosion resistant pressure rings, heavy duty levers and hardware, chrome vanadium springs,and new covers. This type of clutch will increase the pedal effort in order to achieve the extra holding power, and may require strengthening of your clutch linkage components for proper operation. Roller, or centrifugal assist models are available for non-shifting applications such as clutchless transmissions, or where shifting is done below 6000 RPM.GM Diphragm Pressure Plates
If you need a clutch for your everyday driver, this is the clutch for you. RAM clutch sets are the first choice of professional installers because each set contains the correct, top quality replacement parts to ensure proper fit and operation in your vehicle. Every RAM premium clutch set is backed by our five year/50,000 mile limited warranty.
Long Style Pressure Plates
The Long Style is the preferred pressure plate for true competition clutch systems. These units provide a combination of static and centrifugal pressure. This characteristic allows setting up the clutch to suit the car and track conditions. Static pressure is provided by coil springs and remains constant throughout the RPM range of the motor. Additional pressure is provided by centrifugal force acting on the levers which impart this force to the pressure ring of the clutch. Centrifugal pressure is RPM sensitive, meaning the force increases as the engine RPM increases. Long Style clutches are available with fixed static and centrifugal pressure or with adjustable pressures to allow precise clutch tuning. Long Style clutches feature explosion resistant pressure rings, chrome vanadium springs for long life without loss of pressure, welded spring guide cups in a heavy duty cover, and all new heavy duty hardware. RAM can build Long Style clutches in any pressure range and with or without counterweight levers for non-shifting applications such as Lenco or other clutchless transmissions.
