Default Re: Pressure Plate

I don't even bother with adjusting finger height . If the fingers are not all at the same level I simply replace the pressure plate with a rebuilt or good used pressure plate . The adjustment height that I have seen advertised for many years is 5/8 . The overall finger height can vary . I have found that the important thing is that all fingers need to be at the same height . The clutch is adjustable .for pedal height


I have been told that the rebuilt pressure plates are better than the foreign made new pressure plates . I have always used rebuilt pressure plates when the pressure plate needed replacement . I've never had a problem with a rebuilt pressure plate .

The fingers of the pressure plate must be adjusted to between 5\8" and 3\4" with 11\16" being nominal. All the fingers must be equal. If this adjustment is not correct you will never get s clutch adjustment with the pedal rod.


The attached article may be of help with the process.
