Mercury Cougar Pressure Plate
The Mercury Cougar Pressure Plate exerts clamping force that allows the clutch disc to grab the flywheel. Therefore, engine torque is transmitted to the gearbox when you take your foot off the pedal. The Pressure Plate connects to the flywheel via bolts within the bell housing, while the disc sits between the two, allowing for the passage of power during rotation. When the driver hits the clutch, however, the Pressure Plate and disc disengage and the driver can shift gears without any problems. At this time, the release bearing will push on either a diaphragm spring or three-finger levers. This action draws the Pressure Plate away from the disc, separating the engine from the transmission for smooth changes. Over the years, Mercury equipped the Cougar with three main styles, each of which employs a different spring system to produce a clamp load. The diaphragm unit uses a cone-shaped Belleville spring, which delivers light pedal effort and consistent engagement. As a result, this is a common feature found in most everyday Mercury models. The Borg and Beck and Long Style versions employ multiple coil springs and three lever systems. These designs provide a stronger bite that is favored in high-load Cougar applications and require a firmer pedal to function effectively. By keeping the Pressure Plate on a vintage Cougar clean, it helps the Mercury drivetrain stay lively.

Mercury Cougar Pressure Plate Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to access, remove and replace Clutch Disc,Pressure Plate and Release Bearing on Mercury Cougar?A:To remove the transmission and still leave the engine intact you will need to access your clutch components. If you are removing the engine for overhaul, inspect the clutch components for replacement of worn out ones. It's a good idea to replace it while doing away with either an engine or transmission. Remove the bell housing from the engine but do not take out the release cylinder and bearing. Use this tool when taking out a disk as it helps in properly lining it up. Also, index marks can be found on flywheel and plate tightly pressed against it. When loosening pressure plate-to-flywheel bolts, loosen them in crisscross manner prior taking off both of them for examination purposes. Flywheel should be looked at as well as wear on Pilot Bearing, and damage done to a clutch disc lining. Inspection of release bearing should also include checking for distortion in the pressure plate.
