Another B-Series Clutch, Pressure Plate, Or Flywheel Problem
The car is a 95 Civic Ex with a B20B B16 trans. Exedy lightweight flywheel with Ebay 6 puck clutch
The problem started while driving, the clutch pedal only held pressure about an inch above the floor. I replaced my slave cylinder, but while putting the new one on I noticed my clutch fork wouldn't disengage all the way.
When I pulled my transmission off I noticed the teeth on pressure plate (not sure proper name) were pushed in, instead of bowing outward.
I purchased a slightly used ACT clutch with pressure plate and proceeded to install it but noticed as soon as I started to torque the pressure plate down they would start to bow inward.
My first thought was flywheel so I purchased a stock ITR flywheel and it is doing the same thing with both clutches. There is more room between the pilot tool and the pressure plate teeth on a certain side.
If anyone has an ideas or input please help me out!

After doing some more research I found out it's normal for the pressure plate teeth to go in. I'm going to attempt to put it all back together and see what happens.

It can't be done on a B-series. If you try to put the disc on backwards the pressure plate wont come close to the flywheel.
That is correct.
Make sure the clutch release fork is seated correctly on the ball stud and make sure the throwout/release bearing slides smoothly.

Thanks for the input. I just got it back in the car. I just have to hook some stuff up and see how it goes. I used a different alignment tool and it went a lot smoother.
