I dealt with self adjusting pressure plate for the 1st time this past weekend.... After watching a few videos and with limited tools, i eventually used only the park bench lol... Yes park bench in my yard that had thick wooden seat.... Placed the pressure plate on top with 3 x same size small sockets evenly placed under the outer edge of the cover of the plate.... Centered it in the gap between the seats, long thickish bolt from underneath pressing against the bottom of the seat, old bearing , washer on top with nut and turned the nut with my wrench..... Once i found the sweet spot moved the pin anticlockwise, held it in the reset position opposite the marked colored dots on the cover while releasing pressure... Job done 😊 ...... No need for the flywheel and clutch plate to be present

@@605BOLT A friend sent me his 3.0L 2000 ranger. the last guy installed the new clutch and he can't get the new one to release the disc. I'm going to reset the pressure plate tonight and retest. I'd almost bet this is the issue because the adjusting springs are pretty far open.

@@user-uk5jv8yz1x no not necessarily. If the springs are completely extended then it will not have any more reach and it will start to slip but the way I see it, a clutch isn't worn out until it slips.

No it should be ready to install. You can visually compare those springs to confirm but they should be fully compressed or very near to it.

Oh man I know the feeling all too well, when you have to take a bunch of stuff back apart to install one little thing that was forgotten. Hey it could have been worse. You could have had the engine and transmission bolted into the car and been connecting the wiring when you realized the sensor wasn't in place. That would be a big oof.🤷

Ya that's fair. But the nice thing about these SVT focus cars is the transmissions are plentiful. Too many people pop their engines by timing belt failure or thermostat housing and therefore most get scrapped with good transmissions.
