Awhile ago i bought a Barnett clutch, it was terrible. So i took it out and put the stock clutch back in. But i still used the Barnett springs because they where stiffer.

Now I was down there and had to remove the clutch again, and before i put it back together i was wondering....

The barnett plates are thicker than stock plates. Would I get any benifit out of running thicker plates with stock Clutch fibers? ( wtf are those other fiber plates called? im having a mental block)

When i rebuilt the transmission in my friend's 5.0 mustang, I used the thinnest steel plates I could find, so i could run an extra friction and steel in the clutch packs. this allows for more heat dissaption due to the increase in surface area. I imagine the same would hold true for a atv...
