4 spd Installation tricks

Hi Dave,
I had the same problem and loosened the pressure plate so the clutch would stay in place but slip around as necessary. Once I stabbed the tyranny and snuged it up I moved the flywheel around with a socket on the Harmonic balancer bolt and tightened each pressure plate fastener, each a little at a time, until the pressure plate finally contacted the flywheel.

Good Luck
