I was going through my clutch and inspecting the friction and steel plates along with the springs.

The 7 thin clutch rings, 13229-003, that separate the steel plates when the clutch is disengaged are not listed for factory specs.

My understanding is, if they are over spec, the bends are greater than normal, the clutch could slip under acceleration or under bent, not separating the steel plate enough, causing the clutch to drag and result in difficulty getting back to neutral when stopped.

Anyone with experience with this?

All you can do is look at the high spots for wear. If they are thin, they can break up and make a mess.
