Let’s check the current condition. Only the steel plates were replaced and 2 mm was added, but it didn’t help, so we took on this job.

You need to measure and know the thickness of the friction and steel plates.

Think of it like brake discs and brake pads.
A warped disc won’t grip well, and old, hardened pads won’t grip either.

No matter how hard you squeeze, there’s only so much you can do.

If there’s no problem, we won’t remove the housing. From the impact marks, it looks like there’s quite a shallow gap.

With modern materials and processing, it’s more reliable than cheap OEM parts.
In the old days we’d remove the backing plate and wave spring, but now I’m thinking that pushing from the back might actually improve engagement.
