Hi, just having a read here. If it were the bolts causing that it would rub all of the time. Did you sit clutch and pressure plate side by side mirror image etc to check heights? Only really seen that with the 020 gearbox as there is clutch variants, sounds like could be misaligned, did the pressure plate sit snug in the dowels? Doesnt take much to misalign them on install
Cheers
