What causes damage to the clutch plate?

Damage to the clutch plate can be caused by several factors, including excessive heat from riding the clutch or frequent slipping, which can lead to glazing and reduced friction. Contaminants like oil or grease can also interfere with the clutch's operation, causing premature wear. Additionally, improper installation or misalignment, along with normal wear and tear over time, can contribute to clutch plate damage. Regular maintenance and attentive driving habits can help mitigate these issues.

What Importance does dowels on clutch plate have?

Dowels on a clutch plate play a crucial role in ensuring proper alignment and positioning of the clutch components during assembly. They help maintain consistent spacing between the clutch disc and the flywheel, which is essential for smooth engagement and disengagement of the clutch. This alignment minimizes wear and tear, reduces the risk of vibration, and enhances overall performance and durability of the clutch system. Additionally, dowels contribute to the ease of installation and prevent misalignment during repairs or replacements.

Help please 89 Geo Metro Took out transmition to replace clutch pressure plate ect and after I put it all back together the clutch works fine but it won't go into 1st 2nd or reverse any suggestions?

I had a somewhat similar problem on a '90 Geo Metro when I changed out the clutch & associated parts. It turned out after much frustration that the rebuilt pressure plate design was no good. It used many smaller clutch release fingers that weren't stiff enough to lift the pressure plate off the clutch disc when the clutch pedal was depressed. They deflected way too much. I had to pull it all back apart!!&*^$%$%$**!, then reinstall another mfg.'s pressure plate with fewer (8, if I remember) much stiffer release fingers, which worked fine. It sounds to me as though you may have a similar problem in which the clutch isn't fully releasing, making 1st, 2nd & reverse shifts impossible.

A weak slave cylinder can make the clutch soft or spongy, along with a wore clutch plate. If vehicle will not start could be starter, or your neutral switch is faulty.
