use a tooth brush to apply the tacky grease, it gets into the grooves also do the same for the friction disc splines.
Porsche also makes a specific spline lube grease the dealer should have it, it is a dark brown paste and when you put some between the fingers it makes little hairs when you pull your fingers apart

Stan-
The optimoly HT I mentioned is the specific stuff for splines, it looks and behaves just like you describe. Good idea with the toothbrush trick!

But we'll see if this solves the problem or not.

(Thanks Jim C. for bringing this one back up- If there's a way to increase the reliability/lifespan of DD intermediate plates, I'm all ears....)

Thanks Erkka ... brilliant! ... neatly configured solution.
What sort of spring washers did you use? Did you just look for as close as you could find to match originals?
Looks like you went for a zinc plated stock ... was that something specific, or did you just find something close in size, and cut a piece off and drill and tap?
What sort of glue did you use, and did you apply it to the whole thread like threadlock to stiffen it up, or only the last threads to stop it coming apart?

Basically old rivet just needs to be destroyed. Thats all mods needed to any original parts. New pieces are really easy to make since only threaded plate needs to be modded. Bolt was something we found with minimal head size in case it would get close to starter ring but in reality any bold design would have worked as pics show.

Update on what specifically?
A lot of ground was covered in this thread and the end result was a broken ring on the release bearing. An issue I've now seen more than once that gave symptoms of a "stuck" or broken intermediate disc.

mine was just a vibration, a bad one at 6000rpm, but the pinned intermediate plate survived that abuse too. i was in denial... a new retaining ring and new T0B and i was good to go! 5 full clutch removals and replaces later! ugg!!

THAT is the understatement of the year - I read this whole thread and my head is still spinning!!!
The update I was after pertains to the most recent posts in this thread. I wanted to know if the "bolt and washers" modification has still stood the test of time.

Bump
WHat length and type bolts did you use ?
I have just had the twin plate race car clutch apart and noticed that one of the plate spacers has the stud missing, but the adjuster plate is still there .
Explains why the 1st and reverse were hard to find .
I am modifying the assembly to your idea as it looks logical.
