'99 Ford Ranger with the 2.5, manual transmission, 205,000 miles.
The engine has piston slap, my Dad is also cheap. He is getting an engine from the salvage yard and after inspection, the clutch disc has some wear.
To save some $$$ he does NOT want to replace the clutch, but I talked him into a new clutch disc. (why put it back together with a worn clutch?)
I know, I know hate me for all you want, this isn't the proper way of doing it, but the guy is poor.
So what I understand is when installing a new clutch disc using the old pressure plate, you have to "reset" the pressure plate.
How is this done?
