Default wierd stuff with pressure plate need help!!!!!

well here is the story im driving my car then i park it then the next morning i get in and cant press the clutch to the floor well after further investigation we notice that the clutch arm is stuck pretty far up well we tap it down and it seems to work fine then press on the clutch and no pressure then i bleed the clutch for like 3 hours ...nothing.... pull the tranny off and shift fork is fine look at the pressure plate and the teeth are all depressed well i start to pull the pressure plate off and the teeth go back to normal positioning and it seems fine and has no play so my question is.. is the pressure plate f!@#ed or is it ok.. clutch is act extreme pp with street disc.. should i put it back together or buy a new pressure plate?/ any help is very appreciated!!

Or did you just tighten the PP bolts back up & go? Sounds like something's broken, & we can't see it from here. I think you're going to have to actually take the clutch out & look at it.

When a pressure plate is torqued down the fingers will straighten out. Thats just the nature of the beast. I'm not saying you don't have some problem though.

I suppose you could set it on some kind of press & use the TO bearing to push down on the fingers. Verify it's moving correctly. But call ACT & see if they'll simply swap you another one.
