i had to remove the cover and basket a few months ago to replace the shift shaft seal. i noticed some gasket sealant on the gasket but didnt think much of it. i suppose someone could have put a differant clutch in it. i know i put it back together correctly. put it together the same way i took it apart and was looking at the manual as i was doing it just to make sure. the bolts holding the springs on also looked a little rounded on the edges like they had been taken off before. as far as the pressure plate goes isnt it just a hunk of aluminum. y would u replace it unless it was out of round or scratched on the surface where fiber touches?

I used to experience clutch swelling problems with Barnett plates and springs. I read an article back in the early 80's that suggested using stock plates with aftermarket heavy duty springs. I tried it and it worked perfectly.

Stock clutch plates (fiber and metal plates) and pressure plate. Aftermarket springs ( I used Barnett springs). Regularly check for proper cable free-play.
