E46 Coupe 330Cd 3.0 Clutch plate (204 hp Diesel M57 D30 (306D2))

A reinforced clutch cover has fundamental advantages against Performance clutch disc differences to OE: higher thermal Rigid, sintered disk an OE clutch cover, such as a higher transmittable torque capacity compared to organic friction material, higher and higher resistance against thrust. It also allows for transmittable torque compared to organic friction material, faster and sportier gearshifts. That makes it extremely very dirt resistant, aggressive start performance, effortless exchange with OE clutches. useful for street tuning, endurance races, hill climbing (group N) and for vehicles that are often driven with their Typical applications include: race circuit (endurance race, clubsport, autocross), hill climbing (e.g. group N), rally, maximum gross vehicle weight (construction-site vehicles, ambulances, courier services such as UPS, TNT; DHL, etc.). slalom, drift racing, 1/4 mile-race Both rigid and torsion damper clutch discs are available. Clutch discs with torsion springs function as a vibration damper between engine and gearbox. Due to reinforced clutch components the pedal force can increase and the modulation range can be reduced. Additional clutch and gear noises can appear.

Technically it is possible to combine ATE Ceramic brake pads with the PowerDisc or with perforated brake discs. The brak ing power with such a pairing is the same as with an origina l ATE brake pad or OE brake pad. However, when the two compo nents interact they can generate more noise in braking. ATE Ceramic brake pads were developed for comfort-oriented drive rs. We therefore recommend using them with normal brake disc s, i.e. smooth ones.

For vehicles without ABS, a PowerDisc can be used on the rea r axle only if there is one on the front axle. The General Operating Permit (ABE) for the PowerDisc applies to operation on German roads in accordance with the German Road Traffic Registration Ordinance (StVZO). Other countries may require additional type approvals for use on roads.
