Stock no. of clutch discs vs. add'l no.

[PaulRV6]

Ok folks, could I get the real skinny on what's the preferred build? Use the same no. as stock or add more discs (thus thinner steels)? I know each has there opinions but I would like to hear them. I am doing a rebuild shortly and need to hear. Thanks allot for your input.

Definitely stock number on direct. Too much heat for thinner steels to handle. On 4th, go from 2 to 3.

Thanks 87GN, how about it Bruce? What do you recommend and what is supplied in your rebuild kit?
Do you up the # in the 4th clutch?

LOL Chris..

Yes 6 in direct and 3 in 4th. I only use Blue Plates in direct. No where else. Clearence in the direct pack is VERY CRITICAL here so do not screw that up. Red Alto or Blue plates will both work well for you. Preference is preference, that is all. No Kolene tho... LOL

Go read "Strengthening the 2004r" post. It gives a pretty good description of what to do
