Clutch Clutch Pads

or just leave the pads in and take the whole gear off

But still dollars to donuts the pads are NOT free floating even if you take the whole gear.

true true.

now, why is it that we want them to be free floating again and not fixed?

is it just to prevent hard engages?

Free floating so they bite on both sides. Think about or look how the clutch REALLY works. The outer disc puts pressure on the pucks that are sandwiched.....

ahh, see i have never taken my clutch apart, so i havent seen it.

I guess its because im a visual learner. I can tell you how a NP231 transfer case works down to the very small details because i have rebuilt it.

how do you replace the pads?fromthe front its pressed together isnt it? mine fell apart unpressed? and all the steel balls fell out.. some other people said they were tack welding them so they dont come apart..
