Land Rover Part Number: FTC813 - Clutch Pressure Plate
FTC813 is a clutch pressure plate for Rover V8 engines. It forms the clamping interface between the engine flywheel and the clutch friction plate and is intended for use with friction plate FTC814. The diaphragm springs in the cover apply axial force to press the friction plate to the flywheel to transmit engine torque to the gearbox; depressing the clutch pedal releases that pressure to allow gear changes. Correct contact face condition and even spring force are important to avoid chatter or slippage under load. This cover is specified for Rover V8 3.5 Twin Carb and 3.9 V8 EFI installations where a correctly sized friction plate (FTC814) is required for proper assembly and clearance with the flywheel.

Frequently Asked Questions
The FTC813 pressure plate clamps the clutch friction plate to the flywheel so engine torque can be transmitted to the gearbox; its diaphragm springs provide the clamping force and are released when the clutch pedal is depressed. During servicing, check the contact face and diaphragm springs-worn faces or weakened/broken springs commonly cause chatter or slipping. Ensure the pressure plate is matched with the correct friction plate (FTC814) for proper assembly and clearance with the flywheel.

Inspect the pressure plate during any clutch overhaul and replace it if the contact face is worn or heat-damaged, or if the diaphragm springs are weakened or broken. Replace alongside the friction plate (FTC814) where required to ensure correct assembly and clearance; consult the vehicle manual or a qualified technician if unsure.
