Bent pressure plate finger & vibrating

[Shep]

Just finished putting in the AX15 back into a 90 for the 2nd time in only 6 months and only a few hundred miles driving. Apparently i should have changed the clutch out when i orginally did it and i manged to wear the syncro's out REALLY fast according the Jeep Transmission chap in FL. So a full set of new syncros and a new clutch later is all back together. But i did manage to bend one of the pressure plate fingers by about 1/8 inch while doing it. Can somebody tell me the good news that this isnt going to cause me too much of a problem in the future..

Dont really want to go on and on but also ... the damn things now vibrating under acceleration :? over 40 mph. Im thinking the drive shaft, but i didnt bend THEM and i think i read something somebody 'wise' said here about how if vibration occurs under torque then it could be ......

Any help will stop me laying awake at night dreading having to replace any trans parts again in a garage at 10 below...
and enjoying a drive without being shook to death.

I have learned that on a Jeep if you have the transmission and case out go ahead and change out the slave cylinder if your is internal and clutch and pressure plate and anything else in there that is in need. I mentioned but did not pick up my throw out berring last time I had mine off and now I got them ol throw out grinding blues. tug

OK got it... so looks like anouther weekend pulling the trans out... great. As the plate is new and there is only one finger damaged when the trans hit it im just going to bed it back in line with the other. I just hope that works...

Oh and lucky i checked the driveshaft, apears i neglected to tighten the u joint bolts im surprised nobody ended up eating it going down the expressway yesterday. Guess thats what happens when youve wek underneath her for 15 hours and its 4am in the morning. Potentially expensive mistakes..
