Sounds like you know what your doing.<BR>I wouldn't put too much faith in factory parts anymore. Ford has had alot of problems with their diesel flywheels coming apart recently.<P>I know it's alot of work, but if it bothered me (and it probably would), I'd put in an aftermarket pressure plate. One that has a very heavy pedal.<P>I'm interested in what you find out. Please post your discovery here.<P>Good luck! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]
