<p class="MsoNormal">I agree with Marcel’s last email. If the fingers point inward, your clutch disc is too thick, indicating that the disc and Pressure Plate are incompatible.</p>
</div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Best solution is to get a thinner disc or a compatible PP.</p>

made a decision by measuring how much the fingers are moving inward when tightening the bolts : if it is more than 3 mm it is not correct and the feel in the clutch pedal won't be normal eather.</span></p>
