I'd measured the old stack vs the new one to confirm the old linings being worn down/below limit.
Also: did you soak the new friction plates with (your) engine oil prior installation?
Johnwebley:
soak the fibre plates in engine oil,
I even heated it in the micro wave so is would like when running !!!
daft?? or what !!!
royhall:
The plates were put in a plastic zip bag with clean 10W40 oil and left to soak for 24 hours. They were in the engine though for many weeks before the engine oil went in. Guess they may have dried out a bit, but the oils in now and the engine has been cranked a fair bit.
The steel plates all went in with the sharp edges to the back (as they came out). They were clean and didn't appear to be warped (as I said though only checked by eye).
Don't think the stack is thicker though as the adjustment bolt is at its very end. If anything, something may be missing though I don't know what.
Found this image online of a removed clutch assembly and the back plate looks way higher than mine (although the springs are not tightened down). Think I shall take it apart again somethings not right there.

Compare your clutch with an exploded diagram, maybe you've got a spacer in backwards or something.
royhall:
Looked at loads of pictures now and my back plate is further in. Somethings missing. Will pull it out and compare it to the exploded parts diagram. The clever money would have been on doing that in the first place. DDeeerr. ::)
