Did you fix your problem? I have a similar problem here.
Thanks

I don't know if you were asking me or the thread starter, but when I pulled the tranny out again found out the pressure plate wasn't actually flush with the flywheel. The new helicoils in the flywheel stopped the bolts from going in all the way when torqued to spec so I had to torque them to a higher number.

Thanks, I was asking you. How did you see a problem with coils? How did you detect it was not flush with the flywheel?

The last thing we did before putting the tranny in was torque the pressure plate bolts so we didn't look real close, but after taking it back out I was looking from underneath and the edges of the pressure plate were very slightly not flush against the flywheel, looking from the side there shouldn't be any gap between the two where the bolts go in. We took the pressure plate off and the bolts would only thread so far so I thought they screwed up the threads and called them so I didn't mess up any warranty by just screwing them in harder. They said it's a locking helicoil so it will be tight and just try a little higher torque.
