The manual for my truck says that when you attach the pressure plate to the flywheel, you should align the X on the pressure plate to the X on the flywheel. My problem is I have an X on the pressure plate, but there isn't one on the flywheel. I've looked very carefully and don't see one. Any suggestions on how to proceed with this?

The X only matters if the pressure plate and flywheel are a factory matched set, as they were balanced together. Just bolt it up, you should be fine.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!

I had the same question on the installation of the torque converter and flywheel on my 54'. What I noticed was there was a painted white dot or stripe on the flywheel which I had dismissed when looking for the "x". As I recall from searching in a late 50's chevrolet shop manual reference is made to this painted mark. Coincidence or not - not sure but I lined them up anyways. Take a look on your flywheel as well...
