"Spinner Plate"??? a assume you are talking about the clutch friction disk? If its too thick your clutch will not disengage and therefore will not shift properly. This happened to us with the Bora years ago with a rebuilt clutch friction disk that was too thick. Hope that makes you feel better.......
