Warped pressure plate?

[UndergroundR32]

If I put a straight ends along my pressure plate from one side to the other and I can see light underneath the inside half of the plate does that mean it's warped?

I don't know about warped, how sure are you that your straight edge is straight?

I'd rather not have to resurface it. It's practicaly brand new with 1500 miles on it. When I put the straight edge on something that I know is perfectly straight, it aligns to it perfectly.

I don't think pressure plates can be resurfaced.... If you look at the friction side of it it slightly tapers. It basically looks like this \ / ( with less of an incline ) .. you can't just resurface this like you can with rotors.

Ooops (shoots self in head) I totally didn't even realize that you were talking about a pressure plate, I was thinking about a flywheel.

So now that I got my mind on topic, where are you measureing accross? Are you talking about the friction surface, or the cover?
