The Ford Mustang Pressure Plate clutches the clutch disc against the flywheel so that engine power can smoothly flow into the transmission while allowing quick release for shifting. The Pressure Plate clamps through a ring that backs a cone diaphragm spring or coil springs fitted with three levers in any Ford clutch assembly. By applying pressure to the pedal, the release bearing comes into contact with those fingers, thereby pulling the ring away from one another, effectively separating the engine from the gearbox. Subsequently, raising the pedal allows the springs in the Pressure Plate to squeeze the components together once more. Through the decades of Mustang models, designers applied three variants: diaphragm, Borg and Beck, and Long style. In terms of regular Ford production, the diaphragm type is by far the optimal prolific due to its lighter pedal effort and even pressure across the disc, making it well-suited to city and highway driving. The Borg and Beck and Long styles use multiple coil springs and fingers to create a stronger grip. These are preferred when a Mustang's clutch must deal with drag launches. They do require a heavier pedal effort. Because the Pressure Plate wears nearly as fast as the disc, replacing the Ford Mustang Pressure Plate requires careful alignment and crisscross torque pattern to keep it true.
