This is good news. However, I was planning on assembling this engine over the weekend, so my chances of obtaining this manual are non-existent. If someone could summarize it here, I would greatly appreciate it. Basically, do I grind the fingers or disassemble the clutch and shim the pivots? If the technique is the latter, I would disassemble the pressure plate and could probably figure out what has to be done. I do not, however, want to disassemble a brand new pressure plate if it is not necessary.
