Re: [DMCForum] Clutch woes

[Ryan Wright <ryanpwright@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I'm going to pickup a measurement tool and measure the differences
in mine tonight. Also, yes, it is possible the pressure plate was not
tightened as far as it should have been. Are there torque
specifications on this?

Greg: I don't have the old pressure plate, unfortunately, when I got
everything back together and it was working fine I tossed the old
parts.
