Thanks for the explanation, you really came in clutch.

The proper way to freshen a clutch is with a well lubricated true pilot and a perfect face job. Without a proper pilot bearing your trans shaft can be problematic. It can start knocking around slapping against the crankshaft. A wild shaft in the middle of that high tension clincher can lead to a big blowout. Without regular face jobs you'll kill your pilot, and without a fresh true pilot, it won't be long before you push into that pucker, pump, and shuck the pucks or cream the ring. Then you'll be stuck finding a new pilot and full service face job. Stay fly.
