Clutch/Throwout Bearing Pics
Well I got the tranny off of the car and nothing really seems out of the ordinary, except that the fingles on the p-plate look like they should be sticking further out.

Well my clutch didn't work at all. When the car was running the clutch made an awful noise (have a 5 meg video if someone will post). And the car could not be started in gear, or put into gear while running. The pedal stuck to the floor after having depressed for a while.
After talking to my step-dad and dad it was decided that I installed the clutch wrong. The system was bled, and you could see the plunger from the slave cylinder was moving the clutch fork, and I rebuilt the slave cylinder too. I figured they were right since I had to do everything twice (including rebuilding the engine). The transmission was freshly rebuild also.
Now that the clutch seems alright, I am guessing the hydraulics, because I had a problem with the clutch sticking to the floor ever since I bought it. When the pedal was on the floor the clutch wouldn't disengage, but pull it back up and the problem was gone.

I am pretty sure that the disc would only fit one way, but that is some thing to check. And Kevin if I did put the disc on backward I should definatly replace it right?
) BTW if you need help PM me

Well I found the problem. Two of the bolts had backed out of the counter weight (the bolts that hold the flywheel to the counterweight). After following Racingbeats directions perfectly, I AM pissed, I have to go check to see if the counter weight is all right or if it got fucked up as well.

Haven't put it back together yet, I found another problem also. One of the rear stat gear bolts backed out a little bit, but I can't tighten or loosen it. And I am praying that I don't have to pull the motor again, cuz I can't go through that anymore.
I am having serious thoughts about setting the car on fire.

Well I got the stat gear bolt tight not, the flywheel is bolted to the counter weight, this time using locktite, adn 48 ftlbs. Right now I am bolting on the clutch, and when I snug (not tighten) the pressure plate bolts it makes the fingers depressed, it is very noticeable , since one of the bolts is loose. The fingers adjacent to that bolt still stick out a lot.
My current set-up is a RacingBeat Aluminum flywheel, and I think a RP performance clutch and pressure plate.
I will go take a picture to visualize what I amn trying to say.

As you tighten the PP bolts, the fingers should depress on their own, evenly. This is why you slowly (3 or 4 times per bolt) tighten bolts in sequence to prevent warpage of the pp. When you're done, all the fingers should be about perfectly flat/parallel to the flywheel surface.
