I opened up my previously chattering clutch today. The pressure plate is all nicked up. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, engaging the clutch felt pretty much the same way this looks. But given that the clutch disk isn't THAT worn, I don't see how this is possible. It looks like somebody went at it on purpose with a cold chisel.
Is it just likely that a previous PO replaced the disk and put it back together like this? Is there something else wrong that needs to be addressed?   Mike |

The damage looks like someone tried to re-new the wear surface of the pressure plate with a 6" grinder free-hand; seriously. I wouldn't put it past a dumb P.O.
It could also be that at some point the center broke out of an old clutch and it banged around in there as the same dumb P.O. tried to figure out what all the noise was when he cycled the pedal. To save $$$, he only replaced the broken part and left the pressure plate for the next guy. . . I've seen this happen on a beetle with a Chinese clutch kit. . . |
