Did some checking out on those clutch plates on E-bay. Needles to say I'm not impressed.
The set comes with 12 1.5mm thick clutch plates and 8 2mm steel plates.
The idea is to use 2 1.5mm clutch plates in place of the single sided selective plate. I have already found that 1 1.9mm plate will fall into the groove between the broached spline and the back face of the side gear.
It also eliminates the steel that goes against the carrier and puts the clutch plate directly to the machined cast iron surface of the carrier.
The concept was based on samples sent in by a customer that they made a set for and received positive feedback.
I'm of the opinion that the total amount of testing done on this is based on the feedback of one customers 2 or three burnouts.
I will pass.
I recently received my 0.15" shims but assembly of the diff is now on hold for a speedometer sensor installation I working on. Lots of late and milling machine chips going everywhere. I don't want to be assembling gear boxes while that's going on.
