Plain steel clutch plate.

[chilidawg]

Do any of you guys happen to know the minimum usable thickness for the plain steel clutch plate in the GL1100 clutch, item #6 on the Honda fiche, also known as, part #22321-371-010, there are 6 of them, I've been told the service limit is 0.3mm but that sounds very thin to me, my manual with all this useful information burned away with my last hard drive, thank you.

Page 9-7 in the manual says steel plate is .3mm .gallery/image_page.php?album_id=1154&image_id=11596 Page 9-6 says the clutch disc is 3.2 mm These are service limits measurements.

They're much thicker than 0.3 mm, I believe the 3.2mm is probably correct.

The .3mm measurement is the allowable limit for the clutch plate(friction) warpage.
New, or normal clutch plate thickness is 3.42-3.58mm. The service limit is 3.2mm. Anything thinner than 3.2mm is considered un-usable.
The steel plates will normally have no measurable wear, unless they are severely damaged, in which case a measurement would be useless. :good:

Yes Joel. You are Da Man, without your post I would've been rebuilding the same f'd up clutch I started with, now I have solid information to go on, thank you. :Egyptian:

:blush: Aw shuckins...twernt nuttin..
The info is in the manual, but it is a little misleading, or confusing, because it doesn't really specify WHAT it is you're measuring....at least that's what I saw. I can only comment on it because transmissions is what I do for a living, so I know what to measure, and how. I glad my post clarified it for someone. Usually, my info just confuses the heck out of folks..... :smilie_happy:
