Not knowing shit from shinola, just looking at the basket I thought to myself, "We'll, that ain't good!". I figured the plates were getting stuck in the ridges of the basket.
Well phooey.

It's no small thing getting that mileage out of a dry clutch.
Usually the tang and basket wear jacks up the function and it gets grabby and shrieky just uncooperative.
There are 48 tooth clutch plates and baskets that are more durable, quieter and smooother.

So I've been doing a bit of looking around and I am bummed that Monsterparts isn't around anymore as Jeff would have been my first stop! Anyhoo, is 48 tooth the way to go?
So new basket, new hub and the plates. I'll need the clutch "hold" tool as well. Since Jeff is out, where is my first stop for this stuff?

Do you mean Speeddog?
If yes, I didn't know he sold parts, just service for those lucky enough to be in his neighborhood.

I haven't talked to some of the usual suspects lately so not sure what all I can get my hands on but I'll ring em up and see.
I likely do not have a decent OEM hub with 6 posts.
Aftermarket hubs are all solid IIRC and that may not be a good idea on a DS.
Will check and see what's available.

So while I am waiting for some parts from a poor individual who was doing nothing more than sitting around, minding his own business when he was unknowingly volunteered (thanks Lars!), I have a couple of questions.
1. The push rod came out with the pressure plate. Will that need to be re-inserted from the clutch slave side? There are 3 rubber seals on it and to my mind they need to be all the way to the left on the rod which would mead inserting it from the left and not the right.
2. Should those seals re replaced since I have the rod out.
3. Ditto the bearing in the pressure plate, should I replace that as well?

Considering the mileage, now is the time and they don't cost much.

I tend to agree.
But the rod question remains; install from the slave side or doesn't matter?

Slave side, and lube them thoroughly before you cram them into the gear shaft.
Only replace the bearing if it doesn't feel smooth.
No need to fix what isn't broken.

There's 2 O-rings on the left end, I've got good viton ones for that.
There is a seal that goes in the end of the transmission shaft on the right side.
I've got that as well.
