Keep in mind that adjustment has to be made with clutch disk and pressure plate installed on flywheel. Flywheel depth varies based on how much material has been removed from past grindings, and thickness of clutch changes due to normal wear. This will affect measurement and the reasons why you must make adjustment of fingers installed on flywheel. A factory setting of the pressure plate fingers will only work out if all parts are factory new, and still a check and adjustment must be made. This adjustment is made.. 1) to make sure pedal travel is optimal, and 2) to make sure all fingers are at the same height so when throwout bearing contacts them, even pressure is exerted on all fingers.
