pressure plate - grezman - 02-07-2013
Hi. Just done a clutch change on father-in-law's 206 1.4 petrol. Fairly straight forward apart from the off-side drive shaft being seized in the support bearing.
Anyway, I didn't bother marking the pressure plate to flywheel relationship as it's a new clutch, but on close inspection I see there's a "dowel" fitted on the pressure plate near one of the fixing bolts. Is it critical where this goes or is it purely to balance the pressure plate ? My concern is that it's a trigger for a sensor, although the flywheel sensor doesn't appear to "look" at it, and there doesn't appear to be anything else.
Going to bolt it back up tomorrow so hoping someone can help.
Thanks

There should be ~3 dowels, the rotation doesn't matter, but they're there to make sure the pressure plate is aligned

Hi. Thanks for the reply, but I don't mean the 3 dowels in the flywheel. This is a single cylindrical dowel about 10mm diameter, 13mm long, fitted to the pressure plate itself.
Cheers

This is odd...
pics would help

I have since fitted the new part and all seems fine so I was either lucky or the position of it doesn't matter.

Ah, that's a balancing weight, probably a badly made pressure plate.
