Shift Gears with Quality Friction Plates from GFX

by | Apr 14, 2023 | Blog

GFX’s quality friction plates have been specifically designed with durability and overall performance in mind, allowing your vehicle to shift gears quickly and efficiently. Read on to learn more about what a GFX friction plate can offer.

 

What is a friction plate?

 

A friction clutch plate is used in automobiles to allow the transmission input shaft and engine to run at the same speed. The force necessary to drive the vehicle is provided by the friction formed between the engine and the transmission. The friction plate is sandwiched between the engine flywheel and a steel pressure plate fastened to the flywheel when the clutch is engaged. If the pressure between the flywheel and pressure plate is insufficient, the friction plate will slip and the vehicle will not work correctly.

 

How to Choose the Right Friction Plates for a Vehicle?

 

When choosing the proper friction plates for a vehicle, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind. 

 

  1. First, you’ll need to know the make and model of the vehicle. This will ensure you get the right size and fit for your car. 

 

  1. Secondly, you’ll need to decide on the material you want your friction plates to be made of. There are many different materials to choose from, each with its own set of benefits and drawbacks.

 

  1. Thirdly, you’ll need to decide on the level of aggressiveness you want your friction plates to have. The more aggressive the friction plate, the more wear and tear it will put on your clutch. However, an aggressive friction plate can also give you better performance on the track. 

 

  1. Lastly, you’ll need to choose a reputable brand that specializes in manufacturing high-quality friction plates. Doing your research ahead of time will save you a lot of hassle down the road.

 

Benefits of Quality Friction Plates from GFX

 

Some of the benefits of using quality friction plates from GFX include the following:

 

  • Smoother shifting: Worn-out friction plates can cause your gears to grind or catch when you shift, which can be highly frustrating (not to mention hard on your transmission). By contrast, GFX friction plates are designed to provide a smooth, consistent shift every time.

 

  • Longer lasting: GFX friction plates are made from high-quality materials that are built to last. This means you won’t have to replace them as often, which can save you money in the long run.

 

  • Better performance: In addition to making your shifting smoother and longer-lasting, GFX friction plates can improve your car’s overall performance. That’s because they help ensure that your gears engage properly, making for a more efficient engine.

  • 6F35 Friction Plate


6F35 friction plate

The 6-speed automatic transmission 6F35 was introduced in 2002 as a joint investment effort between Ford and GM. In terms of transmission components, the 6F35 is nearly a complete analog of the GM 6T40- 6T45 transmission; specifics for producing these transmissions are unified to the fullest extent possible, with the exception of electrical elements, filters, and pans. Since 2008, this transmission has been used on popular American FWD and AWD automobiles from Ford (Kuga, Focus, Escape, Fusion) and Mazda (Tribute) with engines ranging from 1.6 to 3 liters. The 6F35 is based on the flagship model 6F50/6F55= 6T70/6T75, which is built on a modular principle of maximum standardization and interchangeability of blocks.

 

GFX offers a wide selection of replacement friction plates for the 6F35, so you can find the perfect match for your driving style and needs.
