homer41 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I have pulled the trans out of my 41 plymouth and found the pressure plate to be extremely corroded. I know I can get the clutch relined, is it easier to get the pressure plate rebuilt or replaced? The corrosion seems to be limited to the face only.

knuckleharley Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 You will have to take your pressure plate to an automotive or big truck garage/machine shop that has a surface grinder to get all the rust ground off while leaving a perfectly flat surface. This is no big deal,but it's not something you can do at home. If you have a community college nearby that teaches auto repair,you may be able to get them to resurface it for free because they need flywheels so they can teach how to resurface them to the students.

Plymouthy Adams Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 remember to have the surface ground, not just faced with a lathe...lathe cannot adequately remove any surfaced hardened hot spots......Don Coatney always recommends this place if you need to send it out of town for relining...
