P/G High Gear Steel .070in

The P/G High Gear Steel .070in clutch plates are precision friction components engineered for Powerglide transmission rebuilds and upgrades. Designed for high-gear applications, this set of six steel plates delivers the durability and consistent engagement needed in performance and heavy-duty driving scenarios. Whether you're restoring a classic muscle car, upgrading a street rod, or maintaining fleet vehicles, these clutch plates form the critical friction layer that transfers engine torque through the transmission's high-gear band.

Manufactured from quality steel with a .070-inch thickness, these high-gear clutch plates are engineered to withstand sustained load and repeated engagement cycles without glazing or deterioration. The 0.070-inch specification ensures proper fit within Powerglide drum assemblies and maintains optimal band pressure application for smooth shifts and reliable power delivery. Steel composition provides superior heat dissipation compared to softer friction materials, reducing fade during extended driving or towing. The set includes six individual plates, allowing technicians to replace worn or damaged friction surfaces completely during transmission service or performance modification.

Professional transmission builders and experienced DIY rebuilders rely on these plates for Powerglide transmissions found in 1960s–1970s GM vehicles and modern swap applications. Proper installation requires disassembly of the high-gear band drum and careful stacking of plates in the correct sequence with steel separators. These plates are essential when restoring slipping clutches, improving shift quality, or preparing a transmission for increased horsepower. Verify drum compatibility and plate count against your specific transmission model before ordering to ensure correct fitment and performance.
