clutch pressure plate

Most notable was the use of a needle bearing in the clutch pressure plate, for smoother action.

A replacement clutch pressure plate is permitted, or alternatively it may be replaced by a VN heavy-duty 11-½ inch unit.

The dramatic reduction of weight was gained by using aluminum for the cylinder block, cylinder heads, water pump, starter motor body, flywheel, and clutch pressure plate.

These transmissions were much lighter than the 16s transmissions and could also tolerate a greater range of engine power up to 440 hp thanks mostly to their double clutch pressure plate capability and robust gear design.

The clutch lifter mushroom would develop a tendency to grab the inside of the clutch pressure plate when pulling away sharply, resulting in a sudden grabby feeling as the power came in accompanied by a horrible shreiking noise from the clutch.
