this is my first time......doing a swap and clutch replacement.

ok I just installed a flywheel (stock/resurfaced) an Excedy clutch and clutch preassure plate. I bolted the flywheel, then the clutch and used the allingment tool, put the preasure plate on and bolted it down. Now my questions are...

1. Tranny is bolted on to the motor now, then i looked at the clutch lever, I tryed to move it up-wards to see if it moved and what not, it was so stiff i couldnt even lift it with my 2 hands, is this normal for a new clutch???? or once its broken into it will move more with ease???

2. The preassure plate, are all the bolts supposed to be fastened, tightly to hold the new clutch in, or am i supposed to leave them a little room so that it can get some room to grab and release the clutch????

thnXs in advnc.

 

anyone???
