thanks for the response JFP. The pressure plate is a Sachs unit but it is supposed to have more clamping power than stock- something like 70 % good for around 400 HP. With regards to the release bearing, I see no method of attachment to the arm. There is nothing laying in the bellhousing and no hole for a spring or clip to fall through . Also they couldn't get the car to start with the new alu flywh and charged me 5 additional hrs labour for diagnosing . The old fly worked but the new would not but a week later and with another al flywh it started right up. I guess the clips got lost in the shuffle
but would that be enough to actually prevent the clutchPEDAL from returning? Advice about the bolts taken.
