Make sure you're not doing what I accidentally did. I was putting my clutch back on and it didn't seem to be fitting correctly, then I realized that I was trying to put the clutch on backwards, turned it around and it fit a lot more flush than it did before.

At this point you have two options.
1. Put up a WTB add on the for sale section and get 6 bolts. Ensure that they are from an N/A. Ensure they come with the correct washers.
2. Go to a Mazda Dealer and get new bolts and washers.
Next time buy a box of sandwich baggies and a sharpie.

Good ole cross threading. Just grab another one on the forums get it resurfaced and replace it. This time, wiggle the pressure plate flush, its an extremely close tolerance fit. DON'T force it. Then tighten the bolts hand tight if you're not sure where the "tapered" ones go. Oh and make sure you're using the spline tool.
