clutch still slips

[dig dug mx6]

ok last year put in new clutch plates. the metal plates are still orginal not part of the replacement. and also put in new springs.

At high RPM the clutch slips and doesn't engage fully until i backup off and then it hooks up.

I couldn't find a replacement set that included the metal plates. Is it typical to just keep the old ones in. they looks burn't in spots to me but they weren't part of any of the replacement clutchs I found.

ANy ideas would be great.

Take them back out. Use some 100 grit sand paper and rough up the plates. Just take the glaze off of them. Be sure to remove all sanding dust then re wet with motor oil and reinstall the clutch. That should fix you right up!

You should do that when you put new clutch plates in anyway.

Hope that helps

clutch

if the plates have blue spots on them then toss them out you can not sand out the blue( hard spots}, if not blue sand as hoomgart says also check them for flatness on a piece of plate glass by setting them flat and going around them with a feeler gauge .oo4 if warped toss them out, if you have a caliper or mic also check the thickness,if bad check with a salvage yard for another set, also check the face of the pressure plate, if badly grooved replace also the grooves reduce useful surface area, but first and most important check and make sure the clutch is ingageing fully and you have free play at the clutch release arm

Master of the obvious i'm not.
The only problem is now where the clutch grabs. Choked off once :roll: felt like I was just learning how to ride again

But no more slip at high rpm's Thanks
