One of the causes of early clutch failures is "hanging" the transmission while trying to get it seated in the pilot bushing. Just one second of off-center weight on the disc ruins it. That is why it is so critical to use a tranny jack or some other device to completely support the weight of the trans while you slide it into place. (I've learned from experience!

Steve, How would you know if the disc was ruined? What would it look like after you remove it? Would it be burned, or have scrapes in it, or ???
