[QUOTE="gixxerjasen, post: 956110, member: 20220"] Can I add another thanks here? I just came from my garage where I was going through your pictures one at a time (that I've already been through a dozen times at least) and followed right along and currently have plates soaking. Reassembly tomorrow with test ride. I've had a little hurky jerky on a cold engine getting going in first with my AE. Learned of the clutch soak treatment from member cruppelt so I starte searching and was glad I came upon this. One thing I noticed is it's real easy to see which are wet and which are dry. The wet ones stick to each other. First two clutch and friction plates came out as one unit and I had to slide them apart. Definitely wet. The rest came out singly, definitely dry. Boo! Couple of things I figured out in the process. I wasn't comfortable just leaving the engine open overnight, so its' got some saran wrap covering the opening. :D Second, I use first aid gloves working on this stuff. I cut the pinkie off my right glove and worked all fancy like with my pinkie sticking away from the work. This meant I could work the laptop touchpad with my pinkie to move to next slides and also to work my phone when I felt I needed a photo of something before I removed it. :D Thanks again, please don't let those images die out there, they were a huge help and much appreciated.
