[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 355281, member: 3828"] If the clutch still operates smoothly, but is not grabbing enough, you will likely be able to get away with just replacing all of the friction plates and the springs. The friction plates are the primary "wear" item. As they get thinner you lose tension from the spring. But it's best to replace the spring at the same time as it may have lost some of it's, uhm... springiness too. You get the plates and springs off by removing the 6 bolts (item 15). You will be able to check the edges of the basket and hub for any "notched" after removing the plates. You will not have to remove the nut (item 22) unless you need to replace the hub and/or basket. Being a [S]cheap-ass[/S] frugal Yankee, i'd probably just dress up the sides of the basket if there is wear, rather than replacing the whole kahuna. I haven't looked, but I'm sure there are specs for allowable wear. [/QUOTE]
