if the clutch don't fit...get rid of it...sticking clutch is usually too thick. sd advise to "wear it thinner and it will work" is not in tune with MY expectations of speed equipment....
snipped from kevin y site.
"Well, it came time to replace my stock friction plate since I was ripping the stock one to shreds. Here I compare the stock Sachs plate to ones from Swedish Dynamics and AP Racing. The AP Racing plate looks well made and ready to stand what I might throw at it. Those pucks have the bite of an alligator and allow you to deliver every snort of horsepower. The Kevlar plate from Swedish Dynamics is suppose to last longer and the material will off-gas less which lends to less slippage. The build of the plate itself is not quite up to the standard of the AP Racing plate, but about on par with the stock plate. In the end, I actually ended up going with a new OEM Sachs friction disc. The reason being that the AP disc was going
to give me more grip than I wanted since it was going to be combined with the Sachs Sport pressure plate. After 5 attempts at getting the Swedish Dynamics disc to work with the pressure plate, I gave up and went with the OEM disc. This combination is the same as recommended by the tuners in Sweden. The problem with the Swedish Dynamics disc is that it was thicker than the OEM disc and would not release from the pressure plate. After speaking with Gary from Swedish Dynamics, his experience was that this disc works well with the stock pressure plate, but was untested with the higher rate pressure plate. After an extended stay at Swedish Dynamics for "testing", I finally gave up and just had them ship it back to me. This is not the first time that I have had them deliver a product that did not fit the application as advertised and took an extended period of time. "
