Posted July 23, 200916 yr hi, i was just about to reassemble my new clutch in the basket when i realised that the steel plates are not round thing. they are shapped in a circular but not symetric way.(they are not bent, its their shape) my question is: how to i install them? is it a random order or do have to put them all in the same position over the clutch plates? i didnt wanted to put i back in case i would do something wrong and break all. any way, im putting it tomorrow night all together so any response in the next 15h are greatly appreciated! thanks Rapco(proud owner of a dt175 !!) ps(is there anything i need to know else than that?)

Its something to do with keeping the vibes down and preventing the plates sticking. They should be installed 120 degrees apart. Imagine a clock face the first has the tab at 12 o'clock the second at 4 o'clock the next at 8 o'clock next one at 12 o'clock and so on untill you have fitted all the plates. Don't forget to start with a friction plate then the rubber ring then the steel and repeat. If you have it right you will end up with a friction plate next to the pressure plate.
