Will an 89 4 speed work in a 73 ford if you use the 73 bellhousing flywheel clutch pressure plate and throw out?

yep it will all work long as the bell housing bolts to the block

What does a pressure plate do?
Applies pressure between the clutch disc to the flywheel.
What component is the clutch cover and the pressure plate bolted to?
Flywheel
How does a pressure work?
a pressure plate works by springs. when disengaged the tension is released from the springs which hold the clutch plate against the flywheel,allowing the clutch plate to spin free,which basically stops the transfer of power from engine to gearbox when clutch is engaged the tension is reapplied to springs in pressure plate forcing the clutch plate against the flywheel
Where is the clutch located in a 1998 ford escort SE?
The Clutch is sandwiched between the pressure plate and the flywheel. The flywheel spins with the crankshaft and the pressure plate presses the clutch disk to the flywheel. The flywheel transmits torque to the transaxle input shaft through splines along the inner hole in the clutch. The clutch is between the engine and the transaxle Dean Schrickel, P.E.
What is function of clutch plate of a Vehicle?
A clutch pressure plate is used to clamp the disc to the flywheel and transfers the power to the transmission.
What are the Torque specifications for a clutch pressure plate on a 96 ford ranger?
pressure plate to flywheel bolts - 15 to 24
How is a pressure plate connected to the cover?
It's not connected to the cover. The pressure plate is bolted to the flywheel with the clutch disc sandwiched in between.
What does a flywheel cover plate do?
It sandwiches the clutch friction plate to the flywheel. The flywheel is connected to the engine, the friction plate is connected to the gearbox. Strong springs inside the cover plate hold the friction plate firmly to the flywheel. When the clutch lever is operated, springs in the cover plate are compressed, thus releasing the pressure on the friction plate, disengaging the gearbox from the engine.
Torque specs to a 1989 240sx flywheel and clutch?
Flywheel must be torqued to 105 ft/lbs. Clutch and pressure plate torqued to 22 ft/lbs.
How do you change a flywheel on a 82 fire bird 2.8 v6?
remove transmission, remove torque converter (auto), or clutch and pressure plate (manual) remove flywheel flywheel and pressure plate must be Torqued to factory specs
How do you replace a flywheel on 1976 Camaro?
Support the back of the engine and remove transmission. Remove clutch and pressure plate. Flywheel is held on with 6 bolts. Install in reverse order. This is a good time to inspect the condition of clutch, pressure plate, pilot bushing and throwout bearing.
What is the purpose of Fingers in pressure plates?
The pressure plate pushes the clutch disc, sometimes called the clutch plate, against the constantly spinning engine flywheel. The clutch disc, therefore, is either stationary or rotating at the same speed as the flywheel. Friction material, similar to that found on brake pads and brake drums, causes the clutch disc to spin at the same speed as the engine flywheel. It is this friction between clutch disc and flywheel that allows the engine torque to drive the wheels. Pressure plates are, as the name implies, round, metallic devices containing springs and fingers, or levers, and controlled by the release fork connected to the shifter. All of the clutch components are enclosed in the bell housing of the transmission, between the rear of the engine and the front of the gearbox. The purpose of pressure plate fingers are as follows: When the driver steps on the clutch pedal, a number of springs in the pressure plate are compressed by multiple - most often three - fingers. This compression of the spring(s) pulls the pressure plate and the clutch disc away from the flywheel and thus prevents the clutch disc from rotating. When the clutch disc is stationary, the driver can shift into the proper gear and release the clutch pedal. When the pedal is let up, the fingers in the pressure plate release their grip and the spring(s) expand to push the pressure plate into the clutch disc, thereby engaging the flywheel. This release process is often called the "clamp load".
