SMG equipped E46 M3s have special needs to ensure optimal performance. The SMG computer is pre-programmed with all shifting procedures based on set values (the mass of the original equipment clutch + flywheel assembly). Here at VAC, we have all manner of special projects built on a regular basis. We spent a great deal of time to find a solution specific to the SMG. We offer very specific packages that are a defined weight and meet a performance requirement for just about every owner. These recommendations work as a package to balance performance / lifespan / and drivability, and work with factory and performance ECU tunes, Superchargers, Turbos and most any power level from stock to over 1000 HP.

The ClutchMaster's "Power Plus" pressure plate uses a high leverage design with a ductile iron casting to significantly increase plate load and durability while keeping excessive clutch hydraulic pressure to the bare minimum possible. This design reduces heavy pedal pressure that plagues a lot of performance clutches and can stress the SMG hydraulics. The HPF Clutch offers a similar pressure plate, and extremely high load carrying feramic discs material, ideal for force induction cars.Both features a reinforced strap design and heavy duty rivets throughout for increased longevity and strength during aggressive use; areas that typical fail in the stock and even other "performance" pressure plates during heavy use. These clutch systems have been tested to work well with our Grand Am spec Lightweight Steel Alloy Flywheel. Robust, race proven, and street friendly; this combination works extremely well with SMG cars to improve performance, and power handling.
Each friction type listed below has its plus's and minuses. Please read our descriptions to select the package that's best for you! Depending on your car's use, we offer four options to match your needs:
