06 TXT Pro clutch Query

So I have removed the clutch pack to asses the horrific clutch drag and found the pack to be 10.20mm .. have ordered a new unit to eradicate this ..

However ... On inspection the large clutch gear has uniform groves on 1 side where the plates meet, but looking at a new image they arnt there (See pic below). would this add / worsen the drag if the plates twist and stick in them and should I replace the unit?

Sorry if the terminology in this is incorrect. 

Thanks

Steve

I believe the grooves in the clutch basket are bad (or at the very least they're not good :) ); they will prevent the clutch plates from separating smoothly/completely, and this will contribute to the drag you experience.

As a possible solution, I've heard that you can carefully file the grooves out; just try to keep the basket tangs square/perpendicular to the base.This fix may also increase the noise of the engine/clutch a little bit.

No harm in trying this mod first before replacing the basket.
