Its finally time to replace the clutch. In all your opinions what do you guys prefer? Just want some helpful hints from the forum members.

 

I've got the Dirt Digger 9 Disc clutch, and I love it. Once you break it in, it's excellent!

 

Stock clutch with ron woods 60% springs for sure. I have installed those springs on all 3 ds's I have had and have never burned out a clutch. And the grab is much better then the stock springs.

 

Thats what i run now and its starting to get mushy. Should i just buy another stock clutch.

 

I run the 9 disc Dirt Digger and love it too.
Hooks up way better then the stock for sure !!!

 

It is time to refinish the steel plates.
The crosshatch on the plates has been polished off and now the fiber dics have no surface to bite into. If you do not refinish the steel plates the fibers will gloss up and then are junk.
The crosshatch adds bite and allows oil to wring out so the plates run cooler.
That is why you are experiencing that mushy feeling. Oil is trapped between fiber and steel plates. If oil cannot get out plates will overheat and gloss the fibers.

Some quidelines:
Use 300-320 sandpaper(black wet/dry)
Cut a strip 3x8
Tape to peice of glass for flatness- length away from you
Lay disk on paper with paper going threw center of disk at 12 and 6 o'clock
Pull towards yourself 2 times
Rotate width of paper and continue till crosshatch is across all of disk
Turnover and do opposite side as above.
I have a 2001 with the stock clutch and 40% springs. Maintenance is the answer.
