Applies pressure between the clutch disc to the flywheel.
The clutch will have to be replaced. The pressure plate could possibly be resurfaced but usually it is as cost effective to replace the pressure 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.
When pressure is put on the sides of a plate, a earthquake might form!
Clutch, yes. Pressure plate, No.
The surface of the pressure plate is typically in contact with a movable component like a piston or diaphragm. When pressure is applied to the plate, it causes the movable component to actuate, enabling the pressure plate to engage or disengage with another mechanical component in a system such as a clutch in a vehicle.
To calculate the orifice plate differential pressure, you can use the Bernoulli's equation or the ISO 5167 standard equation. Measure the pressure upstream and downstream of the orifice plate using pressure gauges, then find the difference between these two pressures to determine the differential pressure across the orifice plate.
Pressure plate to flywheel torque is (ft lbs) 14 to 20.
Pressure plate to flywheel torque is (ft lbs) 14 to 20.
Pressure plate to flywheel bolts - 24 ft/lbs
pressure plate to flywheel bolts - 15 to 24

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.
