Scratch in pressure plate surface
« on: 02 June 2014, 20:15:37 »
New clutch kit is at home, just inspecting it

Seems to be a scratch, just about detectable by a fingernail, on the pressure plate surface as per pics

Ok to fit? Or likely to damage friction plate?

To get a new one tomorrow would be a massive ballache :(

can't see your picture, but if it's only detectable by finger nail just fit it. Friction plate will soon  make its own marks.  ;)

I have to disagree  ::) I

In a perfect world, you're correct, but as it's only just detectable etc etc ........ I'd fit it (but I wouldn't have  car with a clutch anyway  ;D)

Just need to satisfy myself it's a small scratch, not a crack! Don't want a chunk breaking off!

Elite now gone.  Bought an X-Type 4x4.  If there had been an Omega 4x4 I would have bought that instead.  We really liked the Omega, but I wanted 4x4.

Also re pressure plate

Three of the diaphragm parts on the plate sit much lower than the others. See pic.
Is this normal for a new sac clutch?

The three that are lower are directly under some sort of spring. Guessing part of the adjustment process

Anyone confirm please? I'd like to get this done tomorrow :y
