pressure plates are not really expensive... since u made the trouble of opening
the gearbox, just change a brand new one. A brand new plate will last you
quite long.. do it once & it will save u a lot of unknown problems from skimming
your existing pressure plate

skimmed plate with imperfect balance of thickness will cause the system getting worst. uneven surface of the plate is quite normal for a normal car due to wear & tear. that's y when changing the clutch disc, it is recommended to change the plate, bearing & oil seal all together.

if it is a performance plate, sure i will also try to skim 1st cause it is expensive. Lol.
