After the first start at the strip after trying to change into the second gear the clutch was blocked. I could not change any gears anymore... I opened the dust cover and saw that one of the 3-fingers of the pressure plate moved over the Throwout Bearing. While installing the clutch I got the impression that the 3-fingers of the Beck and Borg-type pressure plate were too short or the diameter of the throwout bearing too small! (1) Please can you explain me why this happened. (2) Did I do anything wrong while installing the clutch? (3) What do I have to check that this does not happen again? Your help is appreciated!
