Yeah, think of it like a duet: the engine’s left foot, the clutch the right. I lock the plate at a clean 3:1, tighten the pilot bearing until the cam surfaces click, then check the friction plate for a straight line. The pressure plate must bite at exactly the same instant the pedal hits – one millisecond off and the whole routine stutters. I run a quick timing chart each session, never let the bias drift. If the ratios line up, the dance is perfect.
