Clutch cover question.

[BRENT in 10-uh-C]

John, that would be "out" -or the fingers not pulled down as much. The reason is when you install the pressure plate, as the bolts are tightened and the disc is compressed where the fingers are drawn inward. Since it appears you are suggesting that just the lower disc face area was being machined, then it would not compress the clutch disc as much. Does this answer your question??
