B6100 clutch replacement

[Fredw831]

Hi,I have a Kubota b6100D with a regular manual trans I've been through the clutch 2 times now originally I changed it when I first got it after about a year I started getting a leak through bottom of the rear main seal so I replaced the seal and clutch,now I was having a leak again and gears were grinding so I pulled it and replaced again but this time when I go to install the pressure plate as I tighten the bolts down to the fly wheel the 3 fingers are pushed down towards the flywheel and there is no play in them...it's been awhile since I did it last so im not sure if thats how its supposed to be or if im installing it wrong...the friction plate was put in the right way along with everything else so not sure why this would be happening

Most common cause of that is that the clutch disk is in backwards, the center hub is longer on one side.

I have the flat side towards the flywheel.

I even took the old pressure plate and put it on it did the same thing so either this friction disc is too thick which it shouldn't be it matches up with my old one
