[QUOTE="NC Ryder, post: 957409, member: 18226"] Hi all, I've got a 2006AE. In an effort to better the shifting I'm doing a (recommended) clutch soak for the first time. Following the guide on this forum [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=126839"]here[/URL] I've done the removal of the plates. However it mentions that the clutch plates have a pink spot on one of their 'ears'. Looking closely at my clutch plates, I can find 2 or 3 of them that have this pink marking, the others do not either on the front / rear / side. I then tried to find any other markings and a pattern for them. I found the plates were stamped on three adjacent ears with various numbers. However there was no pattern on alignment with the plates with the pink marking (appeared random), further when pulling those plates I noted sometimes the markings were inside facing while others on the outside facing. I'm really concerned that I'm not going to get these lined up in the proper orientation when I put them back in (I can almost guarantee it at this point). To my naked eye the plates look they are the identical all the way around, but the threads I've read talk about the importance of lining them up. Any guidance / help? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
