    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Strangely worn/scratched clutch drive plate?

OK, in another post someone mentioned that the wear on these plates seemed odd. I've looked at them a little more closely and I have to agree.
Some disks are worn, but only on one side. Others aren't really worn at all. The ones that are worn do not have wear on all of the teeth.
I can't figure out what would have caused such a wear pattern. Is it possible the PO filled the engine with gravel instead of oil?

I also noticed this on the primary. I think this would be normal wear?

The basket wear is normal, and no big deal unless it's deep enough to snag the plates.

Wear on the tab indicates something was rubbing on it, maybe the last plate in the basket, or first? Needless to say you should pay attention to anything in the bottom of the basket that could have caused that.
 
I wonder if that could have been a PO trying to recondition the fibers with some harsh sandpaper.
