Can a partially grouved forks of a pressure plate reduce hp?

Question

My mechanic says this so and I doubt it would give such effect on hp. Because I see pressureplate as normally engaged and pressure plate forks serves only as tools for releasing clutch engagement on the engine.

Please inform me more about pressure plates. Thanks

Answer 1

Well, let me give you a lesson. the only way that hp is reduced, is if the gears are worn, and slipping in and out of gear.. and to correct you , you have a shift fork, not pressure plate fork, that when clutch is engaged, the shift fork works in union with the gears shifter..If you have a decrease in power, then more that likely you have a transmission problem.

Answer 2

if You are talking about ,groves in the pressure plate "springs" (gonna look like fork)
Your mechanic is right.
