Here are some pictures of my pressure plate. Is this pressure plate still good or do I need a new one?
The clutch is off a core I am in the process of rebuilding. The friction plate measures 7.5mm thick, so I plan on replacing it. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with the Cap'n. I did not replace mine one time so a few months later I got to pull the trans again to replace it. Just think about how hard it has to work every time you shift gears. It can add up to a lot of wear.

I'll 3rd the Capn. The spring fingers are rusted and the TOB contact points are worn, it's scrap metal.
How many times do you want to replace that part? |
