Re: downshifting

If you look at the edge of most pressure plates, there are usually three springs that hold the weighted plate to the housing. Not the clamping springs. They are directional to be in tension as when you are taking up the load. There is a possibility of bending them under compression like one someone drops from 5th to 2nd. The best example is an early M3.
