I know what it means, what I don't understand is why, with all the work involved in changing it, did you choose to go with a used pressure plate? New ones are not all that expensive (I've seen entire clutch kits with the disc, pressure plate, and throw out bearings retailing for $300).

I have everything new in mine,clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, flywheel, fork, pivot ball, spring, guide tube....the lot!
My clutch pedal used to be really hard, now its sooooo soft, in fact I still have to get used to the correct biting point of the pedal. My concern is that i never had the clutch smell before and now that everything is new I'm having the smell. I'm hoping it will go away soon and not becomes worse
