@@playtiime Great question! Believe it or not the Suzuki service manual doesn’t even mention about soaking cork style (OEM) plates. The oil is just to keep the fibers from seizing to the metal plates on break-in as a precaution. I just dip them in the oil and install. Most forums (backyard do it yourselfers) will say to soak overnight, but it is not necessary.
I’m not sure what you are describing. First and last clutch drive plate has a red tab. Last clutch drive plate (red tab) (Only One Plate)is fitted into the separate slot that is only 1/4 inch deep. The manual is kind of confusing if reading it. I hope this helps.
AGREED 1000% ON THE SERVICE MANUAL! The manuals alone have literally saved me thousands of dollars and have taught me all kinds of stuff I never knew I needed to know😜👍👍👍
Your video is very important! Here in Brazil I didn't find any video showing how to assemble the clutch kit. The kit I bought has a slight difference in the size of the springs, and all the discs and separators are the same. Apparently the originals have a disc that is different. Sorry for my English, I used a translator.
Thanks for reaching out! The aftermarket clutches won’t be the same but similar. In that case follow what the manufacturer of the clutch kit recommends for torque on the springs. Heavy duty clutches will put more wear and tear on other components and cans make the clutch more stiff. Reach out anytime.
Question how long are you soaking the clutch plates or are you just dipping them in the oil then sticking them in

So you dont line up the tabs with the little divots in them? I was under the impression you wanted to line those up and then off set thenlast one
