    Clutch Plates - Which way around?

    Hi All

    Just finished stripping my clutch to find out why it rattles so much, shock absorber springs gone south. Well, I'll have to live with the noise for a while until I can afford a fix.

    Refitting the plates I notice the steel plates have one perfectly flat side and the other side is slightly chamfered. Should the flat side face in or out? Does it matter. Can't imagine the japs doing something for nothing?

    Thanks

      I've heard mixed opinions on this one, but I think as long as they are all facing the same way you are allright.

          Beveled side facing you.

          Remember to soak the new fiber plates in oil overnight before installing.

          yea it's messy, but they'll already be saoked and ready to go VS
          waiting for them to soak oil and be "grabby"

              I replaced mine not too long ago... like they said chamfered/beveled side out... other sites say it doesn't make a difference as long as they all face the same way...

              mine all face out and work fine.
