Today, I took out my Fidanza flywheel and my Exedy OEM replacement pressure plate to look at them. I wanted to see how the pressure plate would look mounted on the flywheel, so I tried to fit the studs on the flywheel through the holes on the pressure plate. I tried many times and rotated the pressure plate but the two parts just won't go together. The holes and the studs are off by just a hair, so I just wanted to know if this is a big problem and I should be worried or if it is a minor problem and it can be easily fixed. Thanks

If the holes aren't lined up correctly, then there is a big chance of excess vibration caused by the plate not running 'true'. This can result in excessive vibration which is not good.
The question is - which is wrong? The flywheel or the plate? I would take a trip to my local spares shop and see if they have another plate or flywheel to try and determine which one is incorrect. Once you have determined that, send the incorrectly holed item back for a replacement. At least then, you won't run into any issues. Some people may say just redrill the plate, but I wouldn't, just to be on the safe side. Especially if the flywheel has been drilled incorrectly.
