Clutch Diagnosis

I've been having some hard to shift problems with my clutch, clutch not engaging completely even when the pedal adjustment was on the last thread (all the way out). So far I've replaced both the master and slave (master was leaking), bled and bled and bled both cylinders and now I've pulled the transmission to expose the clutch. Looks like a centerforce from what I've seen on the net (also saw a centerforce sticker loose in the bellhousing).

The problem is I dont know what to look for, I'd rather not replace the clutch if I dont have to. There is a ring of metal teeth attached to the springs that is off center that seems like a likely culprit but I dont know what it is. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like a PP spring issue, or a clutch disk issue, if you thoroughly ruled out the hydraulic system and the clutch pedal adjustment.

Make some matchmarks on the flywheel and pressure plate, so you can remove it and put it back where it was if it checks out ok. PP bolts torque to 14 ft lbs

Look for cracks on the PP and flywheel, check the surfaces for runout if you have the dial runout tool. Check the clutch disk for wear.

That PP looks pretty intense, I don't have much experience with centerforce as far as checking the PP fingers for wear tolerances, maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in on that matter.

Honestly if you're this far I would just do the clutch a PP, $150 for the kit from wab fab, includes the pilot and release bearing, and clutch allignment tool.
