I took my pressure plate off and found the head of one of the flywheel bolts. The weird thing is it didn't make noise at first. I went crazy trying to figure out where the knocking was coming from then it went away. Then six thousand miles later I started hearing a rattle when I pushed in the clutch and the car would lurch forward sometimes in gear.
I've been working on cars for a long time and I took pride in the fact that I never left anything loose, and no one has ever crashed or lost a wheel because of my negligence. I've worked with people that left calipers and wheels loose.
It's fitting that the first time it's my car. I must've just snugged the bolt and I was trying to rush before the loc tite set up. The only reason I took the clutch and flywheel off when I had the trans out was to inspect the rear main. At least I got like 45-60k out of it.
I just had the flywheel resurcaced and an ams automotive (rhinopac) clutch kit delivered. I thought about reusing the disc and pressure plate, but it's not worth it.
I'm curious why after all these years a forum member hasn't figured out how to avoid pp finger wear by doing away with the self adjuster or modifying it.
