Nice Job! Did you remember to remove the center from the new PP to match the old one? Or was it the wrong PP in the car to begin with?

Hey Geoff,
We did remove the center on the new pressure plate. The transmission was a very late one with a throwout bearing with VERY wide shoulders and clips. So it wasn't the same one that you sold rich:( Good news though it was in really good shape so we just reused it..

I think by far the best part though was when we got the engine pulled first noticing it. I thought the pressure plate had given up the ghost and had allowed the whole clutch to move back and forth. Once we got it off we discovered it was in a couple pieces much due to our shock.

Too much power indeed  :P

I'm just glad that the clutch was the problem and it wasn't anything bigger. No wonder I didn't know what problem I was having...I've never seen a clutch break in two like this. Oh well, I'll know for next time haha.


BTW...Emilio, I saw you on Kingsway today around 4ish. I was driving a red Jetta coupe.
