Doug,

Another question after rereading your entire thread. I understand you had the original pressure plate rebuilt so that shouldn't be the cause of the continued problem.

Did you use the "new" (different) clutch disc with the original pressure plate??? If you compare the 2 discs (I snagged copies of your earlier pics and added them below for easier reference), there is a big difference between the 2 which could be the root of your problem.

Worth investigating IMHO.
