<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>I can envision the first contact between the plate and disc being at the outer edges of the cup being at high speed and as more of the plate comes into contact there would be a progressively slower interface until both are rotating at the same speed.<br>

<div class="yiv6230478157x_MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;">
<span>Looking for some clutch help. I recently disassembled a quartermaster Pro 7.25 single disc clutch, not from my car. I have no experience with this style of clutch. Upon disassembly I observe that the
 flywheel insert, clutch disc and pressure plate only have had contact on the outer 3/8 " diameter.  Upon further investigation the flywheel insert surface is flat. The clutch surface thickness is uniform but if I lay a straight edge across the face of the
 Quartermaster pressure plate  it cups outward. My initial thought was "bingo" this would cause the wear pattern I am observing. Must be something out of whack with the pressure plate insert.  I contacted quartermaster and described what I saw and they were
 not much help other than "something must be warped". I was getting ready to order a replacement pressure plate insert but I stopped over to Jason's shop and saw that he was working on a car that also ran a quartermaster Pro 7.25 clutch but this was a double
 disc. I took it apart and all components had even wear across the faces as one would expect.  I layed a straight edge across the pressure plate out of this assembly expecting to see a flat contact surface and was surprised to see the same cupped condition
 where the outer pressure plate surface would contact the clutch disc first as the one at home. Now I am at a loss as to what would cause this improper wear pattern. Any experience with this?</span></div>
