Thank you for responding! Sorry, I did not have it long enough to answer the engaging part of your question. I know When clutch pedal fully depressed I get rattle that sounds sort of like the ball bearing in a spray can when you shake it. No noise when pedal released and clutch engaged. Mechanic now thinks with 9.5” 49-53 engine the springs are rubbing(?) and have been making the noise since 51 engine was installed in my 46 Merc Woodie. The old (38-48?) 10” disc fits the spline but the 38-48 pressure plate would not bolt on to fly wheel so he used the new 49-53 pressure plate. Re assembled the car and same rattle. He asked me to reorder 38-48 parts I returned and recommends machining new holes in 1951 fly wheel to accept the 38-48 pressure plate.
