[QUOTE="RaYzerman19, post: 1112278, member: 18388"] I had a 2010 clutch apart a few weeks ago. The wire ring it seemed just was to hold a few parts together while you got the rest of the clutch plates reassembled. I thought maybe spring 5 and disc 6, but they will stay in place without it. Maybe it prevents that whole thing from travelling too far when the clutch is disengaged? Dunno. As far as a different 'friction zone' after a soak, I can kinda see that would be the perception, as all the plates would be coated with oil and moving more smoothly (i.e., none sticking). Just don't know how long that would last. The 2010 had quite a few miles on it, and the middle plates were pretty dry.... almost like the two thicker end plates (6 and 17) were doing all the work if the 7 middle plates were dry/sticky. Didn't find any gucky contaminant, so not sure what a couple of other comments were about, may have been the oil they were using? I can't see Yammy coating them with anything, no reason to. One thing that is apparent, these clutches don't seem to get much of an oil bath, and an initial soak would seem to be a good thing to do. I don't know about dimensional differences in the parts, but consider that the clutch slave merely butts up to whatever rod length is there, and then strokes whatever it strokes. That tells you where to put your lever to get full disengagement. Really doesn't matter what the effective rod length is, does it? Dimensional differences might affect the 'width' of the 'friction zone' maybe. [/QUOTE]
