Im not running it. I cant drive it at all. You could see even on the original pressure plate where the bearing touches. The pressure plate is painted. Its going to leave some sort of a mark after pushing against it so much. The throwout is exactly the same as the one that came off the original. Thats why all of this is so strange. It worked before and now it doesn't. And in the beginning I never even messed with the throwout bearing because the shop that I was using was closing and I didn't have time to press it off and the new one on. I put the new one on today though. Unfortunately I cant take pictures of it. Its my daily driver and I dont have my own garage. I am active duty military so I use our hobby shop on base to work on it.
