How to service and repair the pressure plate on Ford Mustang?

The first step for repairing a pressure plate includes checking for scoring or cracking or discoloration on the surface. Minor surface discoloration or scratches should be removed with a fine emery cloth. The flatness of the clutch pressure plate surface needs measurement with a straightedge alongside a feeler gauge. An assessment of the diaphragm spring fingers should identify any discoloration along with scoring and evaluate the levelness of the spring ends against the rest while checking for bent or broken segments. Checking the examination requires the evaluation of diaphragm spring finger wear as the final step.

How to remove and replace the clutch disc and pressure plate for the 4.0L engine on Ford Mustang?

The first step for clutch disc and pressure plate replacement of the 4.0L engine involves removing the transmission from the vehicle. You should equally loosen the six pressure plate bolts without damaging the clutch pressure plate. Make index marks on the pressure plate during removal if you plan to reuse the parts.

When installing the transmission on the engine begin by linking the clutch hydraulic tube to the slave cylinder followed by transmission installation and bleeding the clutch hydraulic system.
