You'll need a total of six- 71178758 springs from an AGCO dealer who sells Gleaner combines. They need to have 1 to 1 1/2 coils removed from one end with a grinder. Install each spring along side of each pressure plate release finger by dropping them inside of the existing springs. Flywheel should be resurfaced and depth be at 1.437" or a little less. I usually shoot for 1.400" when using reman clutch parts. Four pad clutch disc is standard equipment. There are large 4-pad discs and small 4-pad discs and there are 6-pad discs. For HP holding you want the smaller 4-pads as a rule. If you're testing your clutch with the brakes locked and full throttle road gear, you're being kind of mean to the clutch. With these 6 extra springs, don't start the engine while depressing the clutch and don't hold the clutch down any longer than needed. I'd have Power Director clutch set at 350 psi at full throttle and be SURE the linkage is going 100% full stroke on the valve spool.

Thank you Dr allis for the help I had seen you talk about it in other post but couldnt find an info on it, will i have to take the pressure plate apart to put them in? if so not a big deal i have my own shop with press lathes and mills not much i cant do, the clutch i have is the smaller 4 pad you can get, the clutch thats in it will just slip in 8th gear taking off, i havent been try to kill it like some people do, my pd is set at 300 psi heres my question how much it to much and what happen if you get to high? thanks agian James

Pressure plate has to be put in a press and disassembled to change or add springs. Too much pressure in a Power Director clutch will explode it hydraulically. At what pressure is this??? I don't know for sure, but I'd guess anything over 400 psi is asking for trouble.

Avoid starting engine with clutch pushed in. If you don't want to follow instructions, fine. Then, if your engine thrust bearing is worn out a couple years down the road, you'll know why I said don't do that. Any GOOD machine shop should be able to regrind your flywheel without a hassle.
