Title: Clutch Pressure Plate Post by: RichardinNZ on March 29, 2015, 08:47:56 am Now that my new transmission is fitted and I'm about to reinstall the engine I realise that the release bearing that self destructed has damaged the ring on the pressure plate that it should sit against. Is this an issue or should I pull it apart and clean it up?

Title: Re: Clutch Pressure Plate Post by: RichardinNZ on March 31, 2015, 19:43:45 pm I was given a 'replacement' yesterday. My only trouble now is that the factory manual only told me how to remove the fingers to get this off, so I did only to find that I could have just moved the springs to get it off. The instructions on resetting the fingers and height in the manual aren't great....!
