HELP, need advice! Ok, heres the deal. I'm almost finished with installing the new clutch, and when tightening down the bolts on the pressure plate, the bolts at the top are very hard to get to go in. So i stop because i dont want to strip the bolts and when i back them out, theres no metal shavings.... So what could this be ?

You are suppost to tighten the pressure plate bolts evenly. Go around the perimeter of the pressure plate hat tightening the bolts a couple of turns each. Dont tighten one down all the way. It is important to evenly load the diaphram spring in the pressure plate until all the bolts are tight.
