Maybe nobody saw it. I posted that the pressure plate fits over 3 roll pins/dowels in the flywheel, and thus the p. plate fits only one way. You'll notice a new pressure plate has balance weights on it somewhere often. In any case, the pressure plate only goes on one way, and they come pre-balanced. If you're really a nut, send your flywheel and pressure plate out for balancing as a unit together.

I saw it on the bench, and put it back on, apparently the only way, was the first way I tried... Interesting. Thanks, John |
