Removed clutch cover (frozen clutch) (UPDATE)

patience has returned...some what

i removed the side cover today hoping to unfreeze the clutch, A large washer fell out as i was removing the cover (ill assume this is normal) upon examination of the clutch I found some...oddity's please see pic and tell me what this is...it looks like heat damage and then in the center there is wear from what seems was the washer not sitting correctly



the steel balls that have been talked about were there and not out of place as i had hoped



I inside of the case was surprisingly clean, i was going to remove the clutch but i have never done this so i will go through the manually first but i wanted toget some input from you guys aswell


thnx for any help

Re: Removed clutch cover (frozen clutch)

UPDATE:
after looking at the manual I found that the washer is called the "thrust plate #2" according to the exploded view from the manual, Part A (thrust plate #2) does not,look as though it was between B (clutch push piece) and C (push screw) which is where im pretty sure it fell out from, it looks like it is between the clutch boss and the primary drive gear...so now im confused.

thnx for any help

 

Re: Removed clutch cover (frozen clutch)

A couple people have informed me that "Thrust plate #2" (see above diagram) was actually not supposed Tobe sitting here (see green circle in photo), they surmised the PPO had the clutch off and and A. forgot to put it back in or B. thought that is were it was suppose togo, the guy i bought it off said the clutch was a bit stiff...that might explain why
