Does the Act clutch kit Need/Bring a retaining clip?
I noticed by Act clutch when I removed it had a retaining clip with a wavy spring. Do the Act clutc kits bring/need it? I tried searching for an Act one but they only make an exedy wave lock retaining clip.
This is what I am talking about. All this came out of the pressure plate when I removed it. Is this something i need to buy or does the Act clutch kit bring all this?

I can't afford right now to buy a flywheel. The guide pins are just to guide the clutch in. From what the machine shop told me its useless beyond that.

The dowel pins are important to keep the pressure plate centered on the flywheel and maintain proper balance of the spinning assembly. Running without them would risk unnecessary vibration and/or engine bearing damage from the out-of-balance condition.

Just to say some of your flywheels don't even come with dowels.

I don't see how the pressure plate can't align itself once you bolt on the 6 bolts. Is the clearance from the dowel to the pressure plate tighter then the clearance of the bolt and the pressure plate opening for the bolt to go thru?
