Looking for some input...one of my team mates was complaining about a heavy clutch. It’s an MB clutch was at one point a 6 plate but when at marks last year became a 5 plate ? Looked like the clutch spindle was bent & we swapped with another so the stiff part is fixed but I couldn’t stop the clutch drag! Wound out the adjuster till it was engaged then back a couple of turns still dragging! As far as I’m aware the corks & springs got changed April 18.

Would be much obliged if anyone had an opinion on this

Scott... if you search the forum under the header "clutch problem" there is plethora of good advise on this problem.
Good luck.

When you piut a clutch together, its important to check that the plates are separating enough, you need to have between 1.5mm to 2mm clearance when the clutch is fully compressed with a compressor. Any less you will need to experiment with thinner steels or even thinner friction discs.
