that is the take-off clutch or centrifical clutch. if its slipping in the upper gears, than its the friction disc and plates that need changing, also the tension coil springs get.
still an easy fix, EBC makes a good kit that includes the plates/disc and springs for less than $100

Thanks. So if the clutch is slipping in low gear that would indicate the centrifugal clutch?
Also, I ordered the oring and gasket for the centrifugal clutch. The gasket is listed as 'oil filter gasket', but there is no oil filter, right? Part #2

The fibers and plates all measure within specs. The only component of the clutch that measured outside spec was the shoes on the one way clutch.
This site will not allow me to upload a photo right now which confirms the earlier discussion that the site owner is not maintaining it and will soon be abandoned.

Catch me if you can
The clutch when you first take off, while sitting still and in gear, is your centrifugal clutch. Then the main clutch (plates/springs) takes over.
And if you have the stud/nut mechanical adjustment that only pertains to the main clutch. Too tight and the main will slip, too loose and there is excessive free play. I've also seen people force the mechanical arm (under the clutch cover)over the splines in the wrong spot, making it misaligned an unable to function properly. Should have dots to align, or a flat on the shafts to align them, but people do all sorts of dumb things.

Maybe the fibers were glazed over then. Regardless, I have replaced the fibers and discs with a tusk kit. I bought a used complete 1 way assembly off ebay that looks to be in good condition. I am working on getting off the inner hub gasket which is hard as a rock and taking a long time.
