Doesn't look bad at all. Now grab an OEM disc and install that puppy

OK update and maybe two more questions (im killing you guys i know :P) Got the feeler guages today and i had to go down to .002 until i could find a spot that it was able to slightly get under my steel straight edge. However thats where my question lies, Do I lay the straight edge one side at a time having the end of it somewhere floating in the center of the whole plate while i check or am i to lay it completely across both sides at the same time? if I do that all the gauges would fit haha because it only touched on the outer edges that way as it slants inward. Im sure it was the way i did it but i want to be 100 percent sure.

Final question I think would be, will i need any special gaskets, bolts, screws or tools for this job or will I be able to use everything that's on the car now to place this new pressure plate in with a new oem disk and resurfaced flywheel?

Just lay the straight edge along one side and let one end hang in the middle. You shouldn't need anything special other than fluids to fill the transfercase and tranny back up. If you're careful enough you can get away with taking the tcase off without losing any gear oil, but it's best to just add new while you're at it. Also, look up gatecrasher tranny install method. Very helpful way to get the tranny back in place without hanging it on the splines and damaging the PP/clutch disc.

no you should lay the straightedge all the way across, if it doesn't lay flat its warped.

My apologies Forest is right I must have been having a brain fart, the Pressure Plate should be completely flat so that it contacts the clutch disc evenly...dunno what I was thinkin when I posted that.

Alrighty then I think im F*cked going by what forest said... heres the pics... its pretty bad then... would 4k of been enough to get a spec pp this way? if I had known I would have asked for pics as I am showing them to you guys.

I havnt messaged him or gave him a review yet, unfortunately i think I screwed myself as he is unverified on here and didnt care thinking I was helping a fellow 3s owner out... I guess I should see what he has to say.

**Chris@Rvengeperformance** · 03-03-2011, 09:31 PM

yeah I'm sorry, but that is warped. I bought a clutch like that too from a guy, but luckily he refunded me.

New is about the only way to go.

alright bud thanks a ton for the info you kept me from putting a bad plate on my car and would have made me even more pissed off... im writing sinvr4 now perhaps he didnt know and will be willing to work with me, I can only hope. Thanks again guys, its awesome to have such a great group of people helping each other out.
