Are you not wanting to use a place like Summit or Jegs? No local auto parts stores close by?

I'm baffled as to the question..??..?? Are you saying the lightening process is overcoming the spring load in the pressure plate? Sorry for all the questions, I haven't heard this problem before, but I have seen folks lighten clutch components / flywheels.. I never believed it had much value myself.. I always thought the loss of inertia / momentum wasn't very valuable overall.

SO - I guess I asked as many questions as you! rofl....
