The Mercury Mountaineer Pressure Plate ensures the strong connection between the engine and transmission that makes all shifting predictable and trustworthy for drivers who like that smooth control. Situated within the bell housing, the Pressure Plate exerts pressure on the clutch disc and against the flywheel during acceleration before releasing instantaneously once the pedal is pushed to ensure gear changes feel effortless, a quality that has earned the entire Mercury SUV range a reputation for reliability. From its debut in early 1996 all the way through to the feature-packed 2010 model, all Mountaineer generations accept the correct Pressure Plate, making upgrades and replacements a simple affair whether your Mountaineer has the torquey 5.0L V8 or the lively 4.0L V6. Automobile customers can choose from diaphragm, Borg and Beck, or Long designs. Daily use driving is where the diaphragm Pressure Plate shines, as the Belleville spring lowers the effort needed at the pedal without lessening grip. Some owners prefer the lever style Pressure Plate, which increases clamping force for towing boats and mountain passes. It ensures that the clutch bite remains strong even when heated up. As the Mountaineer tends to carry families and equipment, dependable launch feel is important. A new Pressure Plate will restore responsiveness to factory levels, eliminate shudder, and protect other drivetrain parts from wear. Having the component replaced on time will help the Mercury stay fuel efficient as it reduces slip that would waste power. Further, it is also a safety feature as the Mercury will start moving exactly when the driver intends. Additionally, the component interfaces easily with either cable or hydraulic linkages manufactured for various Mountaineer trims, suggesting compatibility was part of the original Mercury design. Built with durable heat-treated metal with a balanced spring tension and precision machining, the Pressure Plate is capable of shrugging off a pull in traffic or on the highway.
