Bend clutch plate

Yesterday when pulling off my gearbox, one of the clutchplate fell off the "mainshaft" the very moment I pulled the box out, and got squeezed in between the box and block, resulting in one of the "pucks" getting approx 30 degrees bend.

Question is, is it any good trying to straighten it again? If not, can I replace just the one disc, or do I need to replace both discs at once.

(It's an Exedy hyper twin)

You won't get it perfectly straight I'd get a new 1. You could encounter access rubbing and friction if it not perfectly straight.

yeah thats my thoughts also. But could I do with just replacing 1 plate, or do they HAVE to be replaced in pairs ?

ABSOLUTE NO to trying to straighten it. No problem replacing one plate, so long as the old one isn't badly worn. I'd say, to put some figures on it, if the old plate pucks are within about .010 inch of the new ones it'll be fine.

Hi Chris

I've tanken a few pics off the clutch plate that didnt get bend. Would you say it could be used in conjunction with a new one (I'd suspect not)
