Chris, another question, this time about the clutch.  I bought a rebuilt pressure plate assembly (it has 6 orange springs) and clutch plate.  I notice that when I bolt the plate assembly to the flywheel, with the clutch plate in place, I only have about 1/16&quot; of gap to tighten down with the bolts.   That is true all the way around.  

I also verified this measurement by putting the pressure plate assembly on the workbench, pressure plate up, laying the clutch plate on it and putting a carpenter's square across to check the distance between the clutch plate and the assembly housing edge. 

Is 1/16th enough?  If I get just 1/16 wear on the clutch plate, it seems like I won't have any pressure to engage the clutch.   Seems to me the old one had more than that, even after all the years of wear.   But I returned it for the core credit so I don't have it to measure.

As I say, it's a new clutch plate and a new pressure plate assembly, bought together.  Maybe I'm not understanding correctly how this works.

Would appreciate your comments.   Thanks for all the help.

Tom
