Of course, you would adjust the linkage to fix this problem. But if that does not work, then I'd ask whether your flywheel has ever been resurfaced. JW has warned us about resurfacing without using a special diamond grinding wheel. The grinding wheels that are not this special kind will not be sufficiently square on the edge. This causes the corner of the flywheel business surface where that surface ends at the ridge which is at the outer edge of the flywheel to be rounded unstead of square. So, when the pressure plate is bolted on, it does not settle all the way down to the flysheel's business surface. This leaves a too-great distance between the flywheel business surface and the pressure plate business surface. With this dimension, a thousanth or two is a lot. Just a guess.
