I layed a straight edge across the pressure plate out of this assembly 
expecting to see a flat contact surface and was surprised to see the same 
cupped condition where the outer pressure plate surface would contact the 
clutch disc first as the one at home. Now I am at a loss as to what would cause 
this improper wear pattern. Any experience with this?
