How to adjust the pressure plate to compensate for clutch disc wear on Chevrolet Corvette?

This procedure applies to 2004 and earlier models only and is intended to adjust the pressure plate to compensate for clutch disc wear, not to repair a slipping clutch that is already worn or damaged. Begin by raising and supporting the vehicle on jackstands, then remove the flywheel inspection cover and identify the three stepped adjusting ring tension stops located on the rear of the pressure plate. With an assistant depressing the clutch pedal, use two screwdrivers to rotate the adjusting ring tension stops counterclockwise until they can no longer rotate, holding them in this position. Once the assistant releases the clutch pedal, you can release the adjusting ring tension stops, completing the adjustment. Finally, reinstall the flywheel inspection cover and tighten the fasteners to the specified torque.

Chevrolet Corvette Pressure Plate

A Chevrolet Corvette vehicle's clutch operations heavily depend on the Pressure Plate to connect or disconnect the clutch disc from the flywheel. This component places pressure on the clutch disc which enables seamless transmission of power between the engine and transmission. The pressed clutch pedal makes the Pressure Plate release the clutch disc to enable transmission changes. The Pressure Plate featured in Corvette models include three distinct designs such as diaphragm, borg and beck along with long style Pressure Plate. The cone-shaped diaphragm spring which makes up the diaphragm style requires minimum pedal effort while producing smooth engagements thus it is optimal for daily driving. Borg and beck and long style Chevrolet Pressure Plate function as 3 finger components which utilize coil springs with levers for effective performance in racing-oriented and heavy-duty duties. The driving conditions determine which Chevrolet Corvette Pressure Plate type from the group will perform optimal based on their divergent operational characteristics and design principles.
