I posted a picture yesterday of my flywheel that had been machined (the bolts go beyond the face of the flywheel) and now I think that's going to be a problem. Upon installation as you can see the clutch arm doesn't have enough play to fully disengage the clutch, it hits the tranny housing. You can also see I had to fully thread the cable to get it even remotly tight, so I knew I had a problem here.

Question is, what can I do? When I installed the pressure plate as I tightened the bolts the release fingers kept going in as the plate seated down, I'm guessing because the face the edge of the pressure plate mounts against has been turned down too much??? Bummed, now I got to pull it all out again, but do I need a new flywheel?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Thanks guys!

Dave, Yes I'd really like to see the flywheel deminsions, specifically the measured relationship between the Pressure plate mounting surface and the friction surface the disk rides on.
