Default HELP!!! Weird pressure plate problem!!

Car : !994 del sol Vtec (b16a3 with stock tranny)
I recently took the tranny out of the car because I could not shift while the car was on. I tried shifting it while off, and it worked, so I turned the car on with my foot stuck in the clutch pedal. The car would start to go slowly, as if there was a little bit of clutch engagement, but the clutch would otherwise work normally, with the exception of not being able to shift.
Ok, after taken the tranny out, I immediately noticed that 3 or 4 of the teeth in the pressure plate were pressed towards the inside in comparisson to the rest. I said "well that must be the problem, the teeth are bent", so I countinued to dismantel the press.plate and clutch disc. After taking both out, I noticed that those 3 or 4 teeth were no longer misaligned or "pressed towards the inside", which left me puzzled.

What can I assume from this?? Has the problem fixed itself???

Your help will be greatly appreciated.
