That larger plate is like a cheater [more] meat, or the collapse takes the brunt on the bigger guy. That is the last plate that tightens up. You burn the inner plates, because those are the first to be touched. You keep feeding clutch on the hang, those goes first. The ones closer to the the pressure plate are the last to be collapsed on.
Therefore, Between that being a chatter plate, more meat or equal if we square the padding, however, that pad design has to be turned so the flinger would be like this. Look at the plate, not the book. This is still, I walk up to any clutch pack and pack it.
If I run clockwise, my flinger line facing me is the pad curve / / or the empty space between pads, we run a forward slash. That says, I may be [look at the top of the forward slash] a drain where you fill at 2 o'clock. But turn me to 7 o'clock, look how I fling out when I swing from 2 to 7 o'clock, I'm like a dog with hind legs, covering the poop, it is flinging out in said 7 o'clock direction.
See the direction? And see how that groove has so much room to hit against the clutch outer? That is way too much room, but a good reference to gap tooth, if say we are measuring a pack. Plus, that big plate comes in sizes to gain your pack back on the used side of the salvage.
But, for extra meat, you wink-wink, run the fatter plate so you have more meat to wear down. All you really need to see is if the pull of the lever, the fat clutch does not fall out of the groove, when the pressure plate makes that large a gap, she can float out. So once you pack it, how far out, or close to being the big clutch will fall out of, or is now sticking out of it's fingers @ the clutch outer? If she is going nowhere, wink-wink... Get it?
