    swapping clutch fibres

    I read on some site that placing a single or several plates inot a pack is bad due to the tabs having less wear and therfor shouldering all of the force and digging grooves

    is this tru it sure make sense to me

      Measure the tabs... as long as they are not worn & are within tolerance (there is a tolerance listed in the manual) then it will be fine.

      I have mixed & matched fibres in a couple of clutches with no problems.
