Here is a picture of my new pressure plate. You can see the bigger metal ring that broke. Compare it to the pictures in my earlier posts and you will see that the fingers are compressed. If you look closely on the new clutch you can see where the metal ring is welded. I believe that is the weld that broke on my clutch, which let the weights move outward and get caught under the clutch plate. I hope this weld holds up! :3gears: Tim
Probably have a broken piece of something jammed there preventing the diaphram from returning to resting position. Very odd, yet I've had stuff break inside the bellhousing and get tossed about making a hella racket until stuff finds a new home. Have also removed pressure plates and found stuff in there that was not exactly as the factory intended. Most likely you broke something and jammed up the mechanism; it doesn't take much. Have you always had smooth clutch action; never a sticky pedal or rotational noise?
The ring that holds the weight broke and sent a few weights up under the fingers which prevented the clutch from releasing. Centerforce blamed a bad weld and replaced it for free even though it was over two years old!!!:TU:
