Re-manufactured Intermediate Plates
We have now been supplying our re-manufactured intermediate plates for a little over a year and have had no trouble with them in the field.
This is not merely an intermediate plate with a machined center; we manufacture a new center section and replace it completely, making sure that your clutch stack height is right and your clamping force is what it should be.
At $720 with core exchange, they are less expensive than a new one, and certainly less of a "chance" than a used one (if you can find one).
We have models for all pinned twin-disc clutches from 1980-86.
We do not make one for the 78-79 concentric clutches.

Buying Used Intermediate Plates to Rebuild
Availability of good cores for us to rebuild is an issue, however.
So if you call and need one, and should we be temporarily out of stock on the model you need, you can always send us yours to be rebuilt and we will do that and return it to you.
That said: we are paying $150 for used intermediate plate cores (plus I pay the shipping to get it to us). They can be worn, but as long as the ring gear has all its teeth and the springs aren't broken, you are good to go. Look in your spare parts pile - if your old intermediate plate is lying in there, it could be worth $150!

That's a fair question. We'd like to, but we do not advertise that because we have not been able to find the right replacement spring. So at this time, the springs are inspected and if bent or cracked, they are discarded. The new center section is re-mounted with new rivets into the clean intermediate plate using good used springs.
