85 GL Clutch Pressure Plate looks bent???


Recommended Posts

Pull the enigine on my GL becasue the Clutch would not engage. There was a clip missing on the Throwout Bearing retainer and the pressure plate is bent inward. When you loosen the bolts the Pressure Plate prongs return to there proper position. However when you go to tork down the bolts they bend back in. Anyone know why this might be happening? Thanks

Either the clutch disc is spent or the plate has lost tension. Either way it sounds like it is time for a new clutch set. Or, have you had the flywheel turned lately?
