so my clutch isn't slipping anymore

[beechfront]

bought new clutch plates only to find the old ones were the same thickness as the new.

went ahead and installed the new plates anyway, along with new springs.


i didn't think this would fix the problem but it did. any thoughts? could it have just been the springs? can clutch plates just get old? i have heard of clutch plates glazing before - but was told this happens when a clutch sits for an extended amount of time.


any thoughts? i'm curious.

It just means that your old springs were shot. They lose their tension after a while.

Or the old plates were glazed...
