No, that's neither suspect nor particularly silly, assuming you got all the grit out of there. > If the disk is the wrong way, I wouldn't be able to drive, would I? That, I don't know; I'd be surprised if you could have done so. Did everything seem right when you tightened the pressure plate down, or did things go wierd then? I didn't have a 9000 but the 900's clutch is pretty much the same, I don't think you could put it in backwards without noticing. Maybe I'm wrong ;) Maybe someone here will have more specific advice, but I'm thinking "take it apart and see what's shiny and/or gouged, and that's the part with problems". Lots of work, I'm afraid.
