Dan, Are you referring to the friction plate. The disc with the radial slots in it? I will measure those later tonight, but the surface looks to be in the pretty good shape compared to other clutches I have seen. Before taking the pic I wiped the oil off it.

Denver, If you can scare up a used mig welder, its not too hard to learn. I'm a little rusty right now my usual welds are a little better. I have a Lincoln 110volt machine that does nice work.

Man, it ain't gonna break the bank to swap em out for new stuff! Think how stupid you'll feel if it slips on you after all this work!!

To me, your steel plates look good, as long as they ain't warped and for a little over $100, you've got a brand new clutch.

Agree with chilidawg's assessment of the clutch. :yes: If plates are not warped, buy 2 more, to do away with damper plate, new springs, & fiber discs. :good: The new damper plate is the way to go IF you don't want to do away with it :headscratch:

Good points gentlemen, that's the way to go.
