why wont my pressure plate sit flush wit the flywheel?? wit out the cluthc disk it sits fine...

 

There is only one way it will go one with the dowel pins spaced the way they are. Keep rotating the pressure plate until you get it lined up just right.

 

those are the onley holes that mate up

 

Did you insert the bolts and tighten them? I don't see any bolts in the picture.

 

i have to insert the bolts?? i thought it was suppsot to sit flush b4 u even put the screws in

The pressure plate is essentially a spring clamping onto the friction disk. Yes, you have to insert the bolts and torque them for it to sit flush with the friction disk installed.

 

thanks man u really helped me out cause i was gettin fustraed

 

i dunno i think it has to sit flush b4 u torque em down. ive done 2 clutches and i know for a fact it sat flush before i torqued the bolts down.

If the pressure plate sits flush before the bolts are torqued, that means that there is no pressure on your friction disk and the clutch is worn out. Pay more attention next time.

 

both clutches have workd fine for me

I'm sure that they did. My point is that you didn't pay attention to the assembly process. Ask yourself this question: could you move the friction disk after you torqued the pressure plate bolts and removed the alignment tool? The answer is no because torquing those bolts clamped the friction disk with the spring in the pressure plate.

 

so just intsall the screws and tighten them to 25lbs?

 

bump just install the screws?

yes install them and torqu down. you shall be good to go!

 

It will not fit if the clutch disc is not designed for the pressure plate.

 

arent all b series pressure plates the same??
