I am preparing to replace the clutch. The friction surface seems fine but the bushing in the center seems wobbly, so the friction plate will be replaced. As for the pressure plate, the surface seems very smooth with no cracks and only very minor discoloration and flat surface. Can in reuse it? The assessment of the pressure plates seems only one aspect..... The spring mechanism is something that seems outwardly fine. I don't want to disassemble unnecessarily. My rover, while abused does not seem to have been heavily used (shows limited, even minimal mechanical wear).
Advice, thoughts? Would prefer not to buy a new cover/pressure plate unnecessarily, but if it is needed, I will do. But how to tell?
& fyi, Other nearby components to receive attention and/or renewal- pilot bushing to be replaced. Flywheel to be skimmed, and rear seal to be closely examined and replaced, if necessary
Advice? Thoughts?
Thanks and merry Christmas.
