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.
took the pp completely off and the fingers popped back into position everything else seems completely fine pp fingers didnt even have any play in them oh well im sending it to act to see if they will warantee it or even tell me if it is ok....
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.
