I should frame that thing.
thats not the clutch being installed off center...its just the pushrod plate. no worries there. most of them that i have come across get moved off center to some degree. there is play between the plate and the pressure plate, and the spring that holds the plate in isnt that exact. if the clutch was installed off center, you would know it. its actually kinda hard to install it off center anyway...unless your input shaft is bent... IIRC, some of the pressure plate spokes are shorter than the others as well...i *think* there are three "long" ones, and the rest are short. its been a while... ben "mine is 18mm bigger than yours" randolph _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
