The pressure plate is what the clutch presses against to drive the transmission. The plate is a metal round disk that needs to be smooth for a good connection to the clutch.

If you have a hydraulic clutch and its slipping do you need to replace it?

Typically, yes. When a clutch engages it is the result of the springs of the pressure plate pinching the clutch plate into the flywheel. Anything that results in less pressure against the clutch plate will result in slipping. A worn damaged plate spring can end up creating less pressure. A worn clutch plate will not be as thick resulting in less pressure. Slipping can also be caused by oil that may have leaked onto the clutch plate. Unfortunately, the only way you can determine the cause of the problem will be to remove either the transmission or the engine so that you can examine the clutch assembly.

How do you change the slave cylinder on a 88 Saab 900 turbo 16 valve?

The clutch slave cylinder on all 1979-93 900s and most 99s is easy to access but difficult to remove. Begin by removing the plastic cover over the clutch assembly at the front of the car (rear of the engine).1) Compress the clutch pressure plate by stepping on the clutch pedal and holding it in place. If the clutch hydraulic system is leaking, you will need a Saab special tool to compress the pressure plate.2) Install the pressure plate ring special tool, or use a similar large gauge wire to keep the pressure plate compressed for disassembly.3) Remove the shaft that goes from the primary gears to the center of the flywheel. This is done at the front of the transmission by removing the round plate, then the threaded plastic spinner. Insert a correct sized bolt (8mm?) into the end of the shaft to aid removal.4) Remove the bolts holding the pressure plate to the flywheel, and the three bolts that hold the clutch slave assembly to the transmission.5) Remove the pressure plate, clutch disk and slave cylinder together.6) It will be necessary to remove the pressure plate special tool with a hydraulic press, and to install that ring into the new pressure plate for reassembly.


What happens when pressure is put on sides of a plate?

When pressure is applied on the sides of a plate, the plate will experience deformation and may bend or flex. The amount of deformation will depend on the material properties of the plate and the magnitude of the pressure applied. If the pressure exceeds the strength of the plate, it may result in permanent damage or failure.


What problems do you look for when you are visually checking a pressure plate assembly?

Are the springs all in place and secure, surface cracks in the face of the plate, excessive burn marks. Generally it makes more sense to put a complete clutch kit in when you change the clutch. More money, but is saves having to do it again and should make the clutch last longer. No matter how good the pressure plate may look, it still has wear and may not have the pressure it should have.
