This is what I experienced with mine I used Newfren plates from the guy who is in Lincoln on eBay.

Cool, thank you. These are Newfren plates so it’ll be interesting to see if they do the same.

Then check your clutch stack height, that's all the plates together. Having put in new platesyou may be oversize, hence the plate falling out of the basket. Aim for 38/38.5mm IIRC, to achieve this you may have to swap 1.5mm steels for 1mm steels.

New bearing and seal on order. Thanks for the tip with the plate size. When I looked at the gap between the pressure plate and the basket there was a good 5-10mm!! I’ll take a good look tomorrow when I have more daylight left. It was pretty crappy last night working by halogen lamp on the drive!!
