Do I have to replace the steel plates in the clutch?I just need to put a clutch in my **** for a big beach trip this weekend.What doI need to look for on the steel plates to tell if they are bad.most kits I can afford dont have them....i'm doing this on a real low budget.any suggestions on what kit to go with.I have to get one ordered today

 

Are they burnt? Brown and or black in some places? Or warped? If so.......they need replaced. Soak the frictions in oil before installing them too.

 

Dude,you always answer my replies....and I really appreciate it!! I actually have not torn it down yet,doing that tomorrow night.I just needed to know what to look for.....now I know! what do you recomend for a low budget replacement,with the steelies

 

LOL......sent you a PM. I did OEM when I redid my 600, otherwise I stay away from the drag strip launches as I'm not a big fan of doing it, even though it's pretty easy.

 

well i dont like to give this out but it a little trix learned...... take your metals out and if there not burt or brown and you have a glass top table go get some 400 grit sand paper wet the back of the sand paper just a little and place it on the table... now makesure your metals are real clean and rub them in a circle motion on the paper about 4-6 circles each side if there's no dull spot your metal's there fine if its shinny then dull there warped toss them....

 

I tore the clutch apart and found out one of my friction plates came apart! I m guessin this was the clutch basket noise the dealership was hearing. my questin now is if I go ahead and get the complete kit,steels and all,do the steels need to go in a specific spot or just randomly in between the frictions like they came out

 

I dont recall specific steels going in specific order.

 

thanx again buddy!!!!!!!!!
