I have now had 2 pressure plates break, basically, what happens is the (I've
tried to explain this before, but it's difficult using English :-)) spring
steel disc inside the pressure plate cracks. This is the steel plate that has
the 'fingers' on it that the thrust bearing(throw out bearing) bears against
when disengaging the clutch. This is a circular piece of steel that when
broken causes uneven pressure to be applied with some weird results. Worth a
look, but you have to look inside the pressure plate to see the fault.
Good Luck
Rich
