Dave,
I had no slipping. Still lots of friction material present. The mod made the clutch quiet, but if I compare now again the sound at the end, with the sound currently of the clutch without mod... it's clear the clutch was again "up to full noise"...
Finding neutral was sometimes a problem.
NickW,
The extra plate was (as far as I know) steel.
The basket has rounded bottoms to the slots. The extra plate did (at start) snug into the rounded slots.
I now suspect the extra plate had some clearance, which amplified quickly over a short time...
Now driving without the quiet clutch mod.

When I opened up the clutch - the top friction plate was about worn down to the aluminum plate; only a small amount of friction material left. all other friction plates looked like they had very little wear after 10,000 miles on what was then new set of Barnett plates. So, why the wear on just on e plate? BTW, shifting, finding neutral, and other factors associated with the clutch action had been flawless until the slipping began. My fix was to put some old original friction plates back in the stack. It now is working just fine. Go figure?????
