No. I measured them to be 0.75" below the pressure plate surface, and thought that was okay. The clutch petal is adjusted to be 1" of free play before the throw-out bearing contacts the pressure plate fingers. They all contact simultaneously.

An earlier post asked if you checked the adjustment of the fingers on the pressure plate. Attached is an article that addresses that subject. Pressure plates are supposed to come from the factory already adjusted, however, that is not always the case.

This adjustment should not be confused with the clutch pedal adjustment that controls the distance for the throw-out bearing.

When making the clutch finger adjustment of the pressure plate it is important that the mounting surface on the flywheel for the pressure plate be within spec at 1.123" as mentioned earlier.
