Theoretically the pressure plate, clutch disk and flywheel are all
balanced "best possible" as individual parts, so you should be able to
assemble them however and not have a balance problem. But it doesn't
always work that way. If you disassemble a machine that already runs
without vibration problems why tempt fate by reassembing it different?
So make and use line up marks. Same with the drive shaft(s). If it
shakes with the new pressure plate redisassemble again, rotate pressure
plate 1800, rereassemble and try again.

I know that you are supposed to note the relative position of the
pressure plate in relation to the flywheel so that you can put it back
in the same position when reassembling. Is this for balance reasons?
If so, what happens if you put a new pressure plate on? Obviously, the
balance of the new one will not be the same as the old one...so then how
do you figure out how to do it so the moving mass stays balanced?
Inquiring minds want to know.
