Let me clarify a bit. I bought a slightly used complete clutch set up at a swap meet. It has never been on the engine I have. That said, if they come from the manufacturer balanced mine shouldn't have any weight welded to the pressure plate housing unless it was balanced with another flywheel, correct? maybe I can just cut the weight that was welded onto the pressure plate housing off and run it?
NO, it would have been balanced by the clutch maker, I have seen weights welded to pressure plate covers in the past.
it would be very hard to balance the clutch disc as it wears and is rarely in the same place twice ... clutch disc is moot, the only thing you need to worry about is the pressure plate.
I'm not sure how you would go about confirming neutral balance on the pressure plate, you could attempt to have it balanced with your flywheel but I'm not sure how that is done with a flywheel that is not neutral balance?
