[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 26395, member: 597"] I have found with some of these clutches that the sliding fit of the friction plates in the outer alloy basket to be too snug, which i've found can cause the clutch not wanting to release as well as it should. The cure was to strip out all the plates and on all of the friction plates only...dress each ear on one side with a flat file with two to three strokes and no more on every friction plate. It sounds like it would take for ever but you can actually do it quite quickly once you get started. Do not go overboared as you don't want too much backlash between the plates and the outer basket otherwise it will rattle at low engine speed. This may help on a V3 that is run dry as it certainly helps on the wet ones....cheers...Greg. [/QUOTE]
