Thanks Dani, that's a good idea; some variation on it that I will use when I put it back together: I know about how much pressure/how many "turns" it required to unbolt the thing. So if it requires significantly more to bolt it up, then that was my problem. In the meantime, I am picking up a proper digital caliper tonight and will measure the difference between the high & low sides of the flywheel. That will tell me if the thing is shot or not. -Ryan On 6/14/05, stainlessilusion <5n-@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Try this: Put the clutch and pressure plate back onto the flywheel, > and while you're bolting it down see how much the pressure plate moves > back under the pressure of having the clutch in between.
