"The different packs, 6-7-6 plates, are interchangeable as a unit. As the early, thicker plates (3.5mm) are not available anymore, Mikesxs suggest removing the rubber rings and installing an extra steel and friction plate pair in the early clutch packs.
The 7 plate pack is known to increase risk of primary gear dampening spring failure.
My personal suggestion is to change in a later model 6 plate pack - straight swap."
OK, I want to do that, but I'm not sure which friction disks and steel plates I need to order. I have a '73 TX650. What is the "later model 6 plate pack"???
