2008 Ford Mustang Pressure Plate Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the clutch disc and pressure plate for the 4.0L engine on 2008 Ford Mustang?

  A: The service and repair of clutch disc and pressure plate components for the 4.0L engine starts by removing the transmission component. Adjust the six pressure plate bolts evenly to safeguard the clutch pressure plate and take note of the flywheel position by indexing the pressure plate before reinstalling the components for reuse. The next operation involves throwing away the pressure plate bolts after discarding the clutch disc and pressure plate. Activity for installing the original pressure plate requires precise realignment using marks made at removal time as well as strict use of new bolts. The flywheel must be inspected first before utilizing a correct clutch aligner to secure the clutch disc onto the flywheel so you can install and bolt up the pressure plate with its six new bolts. The installation should follow a star pattern while tightening the bolts until they reach 35 Nm (26 lb-ft). Instal the clutch hydraulic tube to the slave cylinder before placing the transmission to the engine and bleeding the clutch hydraulic system.
