Joseph, normally I would err on the side of caution and put a new one in but... and I say BUT- this clutch only has 45000 miles on it
If it was mine I'd change it. If you start trying to flatin the finger out with a file or grinder you may get it out of balance.

Call them they may work with you

See, dropping the transmission is probably no big deal for you. For me, if I'm dropping the transmission, I'm doing everything while I'm in there.
That's OK bud, I'm no expert either... a big wtf keeps scrolling thru my mind when I have to deal with this kind of stuff...you think you're good for a while with no problems and then when it rains it pours

Yeah talk to Dan about it and see what he says, but I'd say it's probably OK to run...
