GS 1100 Clutch

I Confused :?

Why does an '82 clutch take 9 fibers, and a '83 takes 10 when the clutch basket and hub is supposedly the same?

Thank You! They refer to a drive plate and a driven plate. Which is the fiber and which one is the metal?

Thanks Again!

Pretty sure the driven are the metal ones (driven by the crank) and the drive is the fiber that turn the transmission.

The engine is an '82 in a dwarf car, and I took the plates out of my blown '83 engine.

Seems the plates in my '83 were '82 model plates. So everything worked out.

I see. i want a little crazy when i ended up with a metal plate next to the pressure plate--((10 fiber disk model B)). Finally i just put 2 metal plates next to one another in the number 5 position.

Interesting! And why didn't you just leave it out, cuz it would complete the hub length??? :roll:

If i left it out then the clutch would never be able to engage
Does any one else HAVE A 10 DISK CLUTCH THAT YOU REPLACED.?? ---With the 9 disk setup--thicker steel and fibers i believe. the last fiber ends up with against the pressure plate as it should. I must admit that I am confused at this point. I dont remember what kind of salami logic i used to do what i did.??
