When fitting the pressure plate you need to get it aligned correctly. Before putting the screws in, check orientation by pressing on the plate with your fingers, if you can feel the friction plates are loose you're on wrong. Pull it off, rotate it and offer it up again.
Some people seem to be lucky, but often the bottom of the wells the springs live in will fracture when tightening up the bolts with the pressure plate in the wrong position.
When you say pressure plate, what are you referring to? are there some kind of aligning marks to show the correct position? one of the friction plates was a bit tight to push back into the basket, although i did get it fully back against the steel plate before it quite quickly, it was just more difficult than the others.
edit: just thinking is pressure plate the plate that you put the springs into and covers the friction plates? sorry if I am being a bit of a div but not done a clutch before.
