ACT 2600 Install, Pressure Plate Bolt/plug Rubs Tranny Case.... WTF?!?!?!

[STHPERFORMANCE]

OK so we found out what was stopping my motor from Hand Cranking over by the crank pulley. We remove the tranny after a fresh ACT2600 Clutch install and find a freshly scrap mark on the inside of the tranny case. Also with the tranny off we could hand crank over the motor with the crank pulley witch eliminates the factor if it touching the valves like someone said on another thread.

Anyhow we look at the Pressure plate bolts and determined witch one was stopping the Pressure plate from spinning free. Its a small silver anodized alum plug that was pressed into a hole on the pressure plate (pictures below). We are unsure if its a defect from ACT or if we are to remove the plug? My mechanic said he didn't have this issue at all with a ACT 2600 install in his old 2g.

Has anyone else ran into this issue?? What should we do???

In This Picture is my ACT2600 Clutch. The red arrow points to the bolt/plug thats catching on the tranny case.

In This Picture u can see a ACT2600 pressure plate i found on-line. If you look closely u don't see the bolt/plug i put the arrow to on my Pressure plate..

In This Picture you can see the bolt/plug i am refuring to. Its right above the pink sticker. Its the left one out of the two.


Real question is, Can we just remove that without damaging anything??? Would it throw off the balance of the PP and ruin the clutch????

yeah i would like to bring this post back from couple years

im having same problem now, i installed a 2600 act clutch with the pressure plate and some little peace of tranny case broke on a bottom near the engine block ,i went to the guys who does the high quality job on tranny's and clutches and they weld that peace back to tranny case ,so after one day driving that peace broke again and they told me that the reason why this peace keeps broken cause of the pressure plate is it possible or not?!
