Pressure Plate Question

Post by Notanexit92 » Thu Sep 29, 2011 11:14 pm

Alright, when taking off the dust boot over the clutch fork on the transmission bell housing, I noticed the pressure plate at idle speed, wobbled slightly, and with a quick rev of the engine they would smooth out. Is this normal? Or is it cause for concern? I am working up to getting the clutch and everything else down there replaced soon but is this a sign that it need to happen sooner? The clutch grabs great and shifts very smoothly at 150,xxx.

Does it go back to wobbling at idle speed after it is revved, or it isn't wobbling after the rev?

It goes right back to wobbling, like it's off balance.

It likely appears to smooth out from the faster speed. If it changed to no runout when returning to idle, then there might be a problem.

If it isn't making nasty sounds, it is prolly fine for the mileage.
