[QUOTE="mikey94gt, post: 561491, member: 11136"] well, heard back from the centerforce guy today, heres what he had to say: Hello Mike, The condition of the pressure plate surface appears to be in good condition. The only concern from viewing the pictures is, there appears to be one area which shows slightly more heat/possibly dragging condition possibly from the pressure plate not lifting properly or not being provided enough travel from the cable. This condition can be checked with a hydraulic press or arbor press if the assembly was bolted together and you used the arm of the press to simulate the throwout bearing movement to ensure the assembly is lifting off the disc properly. I can not determine whether the assembly has any oil contamination from viewing the pictures, however, the flywheel side pucks do have an odd color to them right in the middle of the puck. If I were going to re-install this clutch I might advise texturizing the casting of the pressure plate surface and flywheel surface to provide a rough surface to ensure the disc seats in. If this is done you'll need to blow the sand out of the components. Feel free to email me or contact me if you have further questions. Regards, Roger So I dunno what I could have done wrong installing the clutch, by the way. I used plenty of brake cleaner to make positively sure that the flywheel and pressure plate were clean, I used a torque wrench to put it together, and I put new bearings in with the new flywheel. I do need a new clutch cable though. I have one on order. [/QUOTE]
