You&#8217;ll also need the gasket and<br \/>\ncenter nut, and the later type has three bolts, so grab those too!<br \/>\nThen swap out the FCC&#8217;s T=1.6mm plates for three OEM T=2mm plates and assemble it!<br \/>\nAfter that, just replace the clutch fluid properly and you&#8217;re done!<br \/>\nThere you have it\u2014all finished!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The GSF1200 really does have clutch slipping issues!
