Re: clutch housing and pressure plate

In my experience (4-5 airhead clutches, including a couple of the  
newer style you have), there's no "possibly." It's pretty easy to  
measure deformation in these parts, and they don't always merit re- 
installation.  Even if there's no warpage (due to overheating), the  
friction plate wears them slightly conical (think of a very short  
cone with a very big base), such hat they don't mate right with a  
new, truly flat, friction plate.
