<VV> Starter/clutch problem

[Frank DuVal]

You found it before I could respond!

I have had several pressure plates bent during shipping. Even ones I 
bought at local FLAPS. If you drop the box on the side there is a good 
chance the ring gear will get bent.

Always look at the ring gear and see if it is a good circle. Since the 
ring is unsupported except near the welds, there is pleanty of area to 
bend if dropped. And being heavy, they can get dropped easily while 
carrying other packages.
