Clutch replacement

[blackbear at frontiernet.net]

Ok...I think I need a little help here.

I'm checking around online, and all I'm seeing are EBC clutches.  These sound pretty good, except for one thing...
All of them are saying "Not for use with full synthetic oil".

I run the Rotella synthetic.  So I should assume these will not work for me?


Also, checking in the manual, they don't list a thickness for the steel plates, only to check for warpage.
After pulling the clutch apart, the plats do not appear to be warped (the rider is...but that doesn't count!).


so does anyone have a link to a good set of friction plates for the GPZ?  or will the EBC SRC Kevlar set work using Rotella?


I'm so unhappy right now.   one of the first beautiful weekends in NY, leading up to a week that looks to be GREAT for riding, and Talyn is down for the count.  Gotta get him road worthy again.  every day I ride instead of running the Jeep I save over $10 in fuel.


Thanks,

Michael in Holley

I've always had good luck with Barnett clutches and since you don't change
them often I'd go for the quality.  At 51K the metal plates must be shot,
thickness-wise.  To avoid problems I'd change everything including the
springs as there is a lot time and heat on the clutch at 51K.  You must not
drag race ;-)  I think I put at least two clutches in an FJ1100 many years
ago.

Need advice.

I believe my clutch has gone at 51k.  The clutch doesn't engage until the
lever is all the way out, and this morning felt almost like it was trying to
slip.
No, I have not changed the oil I normally use.

What is a good replacement clutch pack?  Do I have to replace the steel
plates also, or just the fiber ones?


I saw this:
http://www.amazon.com/EBC-Kevlar-Series-Clutch-SRC25/dp/B000GV4FNQ/ref=sr_1_
2?ie=UTF8&qid=1366717805&sr=8-2&keywords=EBC+SRC+Kevlar+Series+Clutch+Kit+SR
C25

and was wondering if that's all I need to get Talyn motorvating again
correctly.

Thanks,
