It's official,my clutch is toast. But as usual,I have questions.
Are the friction surfaces supposed to ride on the aluminum surfaces? Seems like there should be a steel there to me. Is it possible my plates are stacked wrong?
My outer 'slipper' plate has a few teeth missing in the friction area on the steel side,and ALL of the friction material is gone on the pressure plate side. I could be calling the pressure plate the wrong name. This is my first time in a clutch.
Also,the clutch spring free length of the springs I pulled out is 1.271"
FSM calls for 1.2575 free length with a serviceable limit of 1.201"
The new springs I have measure from 1.382"-1.386"
All of my springs measure too long which I understand is a good way to destroy a lifter plate.What should I do here?
My friction plates measure 0.138"
FSM calls for 0.1347"-0.1409" with a serviceable limit of 0.122"
My plates are nearly as thick as new?! Are they swollen? They are also very dark. Should they be?Again,what should I do here?
Also,where the outer/slipper plate lost all of its friction material it put some score marks on the pressure plate( NAME?). Can I just dress these marks out,or does it need to be replaced?
Confession time: This clutch was working perfectly fine until I started dumping to ride wheelies. So should I just consider the stripped outer/slipper plate a result of my actions, replace that one part,put it all back in and keep rockin'? Or should I address things while I have it apart?
My outer/slipper plate
Steel side
Pressure plate side
What I am calling the pressure plate. Hard to make out the scoring.It's very minimal,but it is there.
No scoring on this inner piece.You can see very little wear form the friction plate,but you can mostly still see the machining marks from where it was made,so I think this piece is plenty healthy
