When new, the crank, flywheel, and pressure plate all had marks that 
were oriented in a particular way when assembled, to get the best 
balance. Those marks were paint, or something similar, so they never 
survive this long, but it's always a good idea to mark your parts 
before you take them apart.

If you get your drive line balanced, they will stamp marks on 
everything so you can assemble them correctly.

You might be able to remove your pressure plate and get someone to 
just balance it. That might help.

There's no "bush" on the cooling fan. There's nothing back there to 
replace.
