PLEASE HELP! Working on Replacing the Clutch

I wouldn't worry, it's not like the pressure plate is supposed to drag on the flywheel anyway, that's the clutch disk's job. As long as the PP is bolted on correctly to the FW, it should provide enough friction to do it's job.

I think I'd pop it off real fast just to be sure there isn't a burr or some debris keeping that portion of the pressure plate from clamping down flush. If there is, and it works loose over time, there would no longer be tension on that bolt, allowing it to back out.

Well i wish it was that easy just to pop it off but i would need to drop the tranny all over and putting it back up is no easy task when its hard to get people to come out and help me. I lucked out last night, does any one have experience with this? I know Billman can chime in but who knows if he'll read my thread

OP if your clutch isn't slipping I say don't worry about it.

Just out of curiosity, i got put back on my shifter and i was going through the gears (obviously without the clutch engaging) but 5th gear seemed a little rough. Should i be worried or should i just bleed and proceed to run to find out or maybe its just because I'm not engaging the clutch??
i very much appreciate the speedy responses, thanks guys!

I would not worry about the feel, until you fire-up the baby.

I will drop a pp on a flywheel and see if it resembles yours. I'd imagine you're fine.
