48RE Overdrive Brake Pressure Plate
This Is A Stock Replacement For 48RE Applications - .215" Thick

THIS IS LOW CAPACITY & NOT A STOCK PLATE

48RE's Contain 5-6 Clutches From The Factory

May Also Be Called A Backing Plate - Outer Most Plate On The Overdrive Section

This pressure plate often gets damaged or warped when its exsposed to excessive heat.
This happens when the Overdrive Brake clutch pack fails and gets too hot.
This can happen due to lack of fluid, or towing apllications, as well as other circumstances.

One way you can prevent Overdrive Brake clutch failure is to upgrade your clutch capacity.
Most "RE" models have a thick pressure plate that holds less clutches than the thinner .215" thick plate.
If you have the thick pressure plate then it is recommended that you upgrade to the .215" thick plate.
By upgrading to the thinner pressure plate you can add one additional clutch.
By adding the extra clutch you get more holding strength and greater heat dissipation.

This pressure plate gets processed in a machine with ceramic media.
This process gives the pressure plate a nice dull finish and gives the clutches a good surface to grab.
