I had one that the springs were set out of balance (from new). When you put
your foot on the clutch pedal you could feel it vibrate. I had to take
everything back apart and found by running the engine with no gearbox attached
and the clutch installed on the flywheel, that the release plate would wobble!
I took a sharpie marker and ran a piece of wood across the gearbox (cross
ways) opening for stability, then slowly moved the sharpie forward until it
would make a "high" mark on the release plate. After a spring adjustment I
would repeat several times until I got it near perfect. Once together it felt
very smooth.
