Also, its not too uncommon for pressure plate bolts to back out a bit over time and reducing clamping or causing uneven clamping. <br /><br />I guess I just consider it 'cheap insurance'. Same goes for loc-tite on the drive shaft bolts. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
