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 |

I can't accept that pressure plate damage happened when that disc was in place. Nothing that could do that much damage to the metal pressure plate surface would leave the disc friction material intact. I'd bet that damage occurred previously and then it was reassembled with a new friction disc. That would explain the chatter, and how else could that friction disc escape being chewed up a lot more than it is?
