[used red MN]

Did you remove the 3 bolts on the pressure plate that hold it together until after you got it installed?

John M, you should have said “If it has shipping/ installation caging bolts did you remove them? Not all clutches come with those.

IF the lined plate is not installed backwards it is likely that the new lined plate is "almost right" and is thicker than what the pressure plate was set up for, which causes the release fingers to be too far forward/away from the throwout bearing.

thinking this is the problem, how or where do i find measurement for where fingers should be

Always sure are we matey!?!? Per the handy dandy new improved YT, the OP was last seen at 3:16P on 4/27. Which means he hasn’t seen a single reply written, unless he is viewing it without signing in. Maybe he had a self revealing moment of the actual problem.

I have him ignored, and several others, but I noticed he replied to me, so I had to answer. Im so sick of this place I rarely come anymore. To many know it alls, and too many smarta$$eS for me any more.

Hey, I admit I dont know anything, and I try to be a nice guy, not a smart arse. So you can talk to me.
