Vibrates even with clutch in and trans in neutral. I'm thinking I bolted the Pressure Plate in in the wrong place. I thought I marked it but that's the only thing I can think of. The flywheel was not removed and it was fine before. The pressure plate was rebuilt but that doesn't seem that it would be the problem. It's a clean rebuild. Neutral and clutch in should completely take the trans out of the equation. So if it's the pp in the wrong place, I'm almost thinking I can leave everything in place; access it from the bottom; unbolt and turn the pp one set of screw holes at a time and see if any location fixes it. I mean, anything is worth a try short of pulling everything all back apart. Yes? No? Maybe?
@tiny Tiny, You might want to re-think that post regarding the pressure plate being out of the equation.

True that Mike. The Pressure Plate is actually bolted to the flywheel. So in a static config the pressure plate always holds the clutch to the flywheel. Only when the clutch is pushed in does IT disconnect the clutch from the surface of the flywheel. But the PP is always there.
Oh and hey Tiny. Long time. Did you sell your 38?
But the question is, could the PP being in the wrong slot actually make that much difference?
OK. I'll delete my reply to prevent confusion.@tiny Tiny, You might want to re-think that post regarding the pressure plate being out of the equation.

Surely a sad day. I guess we are truly only guardians after all. I hope you left a note in one of the hidden panels. Maybe wrapped in a $5 bill. That'd be cool to find in 50 years.
