Just got off the phone with FM...They are nice enough to send me a new PP and TOB.

Unfortunately, the damage to the Flywheel is not covered, could a machine shop get rid of the heat damage and make it usable again?

Also, would the vibration of the warped pressure plate at higher RPMs cause damage to the actual motor???
