Hi Sean

The clutch pad seems to have life in it,
but adjustment and light oiling of the shaft are critical.
A rub with emery tape around the cone should clean it up.

Also make sure you lubricate the thrust bearing (in the clutch hub)
with some light oil, before re-assembly.

The first design pad was bronze, with an added fibre washer.
The later plastic ones are good, but will collapse with excessive
heat, brought about by incorrect adjustment, or a sticking cone,
or wearing ... mowwear cool

Hope this helps.
