Dammit, i have been fighting a slew of issues in my quest to replace and fix my starter gear and clip and now I have stumbled into some clutch discrepancies. As part of that process I removed my clutch basket and went today to reassembly everything. I started comparing my parts to both my clymers and shop manual and i had extra washers. Well i read enough here to figure out the manuals were missing some washers. Additionally I have a 1975 and currently have 7 friction plates. Everywhere I Read I am supposed to have 6. Also the manual says that there is a specific order to the friction plates, I guess there are two aluminum backed and the rest are fiber backed. I think I have spotted the aluminum but I am not sure the order.
Here is my clutch assembly laid out in order going from left to right. The next set are my 7 clutch plates.
I circled the two in red that are i believe the aluminum backed ones that manual is referring too.
