Hi folks, do you think this clutch is ok or shall I replace it?
Just swapping engines. No issues with the clutch

For the cost of the clutch, why not. It would be a false economy not to.

I’ve used old clutches before with little wear but personally id just change it for peace of mind.

What is the cost of the clutch components?

You could also get it re-lined to ensure compatibility. This would also ensure the friction lining was at its best.

Agree 100%, replace it, while you’ve got the opportunity.

While you’re at it, you might also consider having the flywheel lightened for minimal outlay.

New clutch on the way. Makes sense just to be told not to be so tight.
Shoes are great 👍
