Exactly. I had my original (had the De Tomaso 'Isis" logo on it) pressure plate and clutch rebuilt. Had a bit of chatter for the first few weeks. Totally gone now.

Marlin said convex, and he is correct about this. Clutch will still work with the OEM flat face, but the convex is the best choice.

I agree,since the car apparently was not driven often, you as new owner need to put on some miles and see if break-in is the real clutch issue.
