Thread: pressure plate problem, anyone ever seen this??

Just oil on it from having the motor tipped up, not why it was slipping. It's hard to get a pic of the fingers that was the best one i had out of like 10.

The pressure plate fingers don't re-shape. They would have been made that way from the beginning. Looks like the quality control on that pressure plate was poor.

That sure is a lot of wetness. Everything should be dry. If you're sure that came from the motor being tipped then okay, but the bellhousing and everything inside it should be dry. You might have an oil leak from the rear main seal or a gear oil leak from the input shaft bearing.

As for the rubbing on the bellhousing, that's quite odd. I'm all out of ideas there.

This would be my last XTD clutch/PP if I were you.

^Is your distributor leaking? My tranny looked like this for a long time distributor leak. It eventually made it's way into the tranny.

Yes, I'm positive it's from the motor being tipped up, oil was pouring out of the oil galley's and all. Nice to know that there's not anything else causing it other than poor quality. I'd say this thing has a bout 2k miles on it, that's it.
