Time really flies, doesn’t it.
The clutch is slipping, apparently…

It’s an FCC.

Rules differ by manufacturer.

The inside is very clean ★

There’s hardly any burn marks or warping.

I suspect the friction plate hardening is the culprit.

This is how we oil-stain them to check the friction plates, old versus new.
Slick.

The spring rate is bumped up too.
The engagement feels off, so I’ve had to take it apart several times…
This is frustrating.
