I'm currently rebuilding the ta, clutch and everything in between. When I got to the main trans. clutch I replaced it with a 6 button hd and new presure plate. When I went to remove the three spring compression bolts in the new pressure plate, the fingers didn't release very much at all. I was wondering if this will work correctly or will I have to have the flywheel machined down to a certain clearance to get the clutch to work or will i have enough adjustment on the linkage rod to adjust this out? Any help or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

Unless the new puck clutch was substantially thicker than the regular disk (new) there should be no issue. Adjustment is common with a new disk. If the FW was not touched, it should be OK. JimN

Given Ricks number for offset, if the surface was not milled and is foundto be close to 1.406 + or - .005", the clutch should work fine. If the wear, or machine work were only on the friction surface and not the mounting edge, the lever movement you observed would have been greater. Clutch disks wear thinner, so does t both the surfaces of the flywheel and PP that touch it. eventually allowing the pedal no free travel unless adjusted.
The pieces that wear in the other direction (increasing the freeplay) include the fingers that touch the throwout bearing, The throwout bearing, the pivot points of the clutch relief shaft, the clevice and link pins that operate the Throwout system, and the pedal bushings. If these systems ake kept lubed, the pedal will work toward no freeplay, if not the whole system can wear such that the freeplay seems to stay the same. I hope this explanation helps take the mystery out of it. JimN
