[QUOTE="Checkswrecks, post: 485196, member: 3536"] My 2007 sat for a while and was very hard to shift, so I removed and cleaned the clutch plates last night. They came out absolutely glued to each other with black sludge (only 3000 miles since new). Cleaned each, sanded the surfaces, soaked the friction rings in oil, reinstalled with a new cover gasket and the world is a wonderful place. Because this thread is "go-to" for the clutch, there's one thing to add. Skooter mentioned that there is another friction ring that the photos don't show removed. It's like the outer ring that he found damaged and is behind a last steel plate. The plate and ears of the friction ring are visible in his last photo into the basket. Use a set of two picks and it's easy to pull out the steel plate and the last friction plate. [IMG]https://www.toolbox37.com/acatalog/FRTA679p.jpg[/IMG] (Use the second pick from left) Make sure to pay attention to the spring ring (a bellville spring) that is also back there and reinstall it with the taper in the original direction.
