[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1322043, member: 3828"] And they are "wet" as compared to some other designs that have no oil on them at all. In the case of a dry clutch, oil on the plates usually results in the clutch slipping when engaged. I was thinking about the way these clutches works, and I think some people are a bit confused. In order for the clutch to disengage [I]at all[/I], every one of the friction plates must slip/slide against its two adjacent steel clutch plates. You can't have a situation where any of the plates are "stuck together" and still have any disengagement. So even when people open the clutch and find only a few plates are wet and the others not, they have all been disengaging or else the clutch would have been locked up tight. [/QUOTE]
