http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT found this on e bay... multi plate clutches are rebuildable so... if you get that and after inspection think that you cant use it, you can get new discs and plates amd make it almost like new again

Since this was brought up and I am also in the market for a new clutch. I was wondering what the difference is between a double and triple plate clutch setup? Personally I'm looking at getting an Exedy since the ones I've found are more reasonably priced then OS Giken...but man would a Giken be nice.

twin plate has 2 clutch discs 4 friction surfaces, and triple plate has 3 discs with 6 friction surfaces
usually the more plates you have the more you can afford to lose on the diameter of the clutch... smaller clutch= less weight=more power to the wheels. more plates=more grip= lots of loot
