Here are a few more comparisons of old vs. new materials.
Now, you must begin with the friction disc, then metal disc, and then alternate until you put in the friction disc last.
So, the friction disc will be the first and the last plate. The metal discs are sandwiched in between the discs. Be sure to oil these up so they don't stick to tight to eachother upon installation.
When re-installing the pressure plate, you MUST "index" the plate. This simply means that the little round protrusion on the pressure plate must align with the indentation on the clutch hub. The pictures are below. If the clutch pressure plate is not indexed properly, the clutch will never 'grab' and you will be in neutral. You can also tell by looking at the top of the installed discs and pressure plate in that the pressure plate will be hugging the discs real tight.
*The last picture shows the tiny round protrusion on the pressure plate that aligns with the round, horse-shoe-like indentation (IMG_2084) on the clutch hub. These are positioned at 180-degrees from eachother.
FYI: Image IMG_2087 shows the pin that gets pulled away from the bike, when you ride, in order to pull apart the friction discs and shift gears smoothly.
