Check with Rick Cordor, he's a fantastic re-liner

As cheap as clutch plates are, seems like it would be a good idea to put a new one in while you have it down. That many miles must have tsken their wear on the old one. No fun to take it all down to replace clutch later.

Just buy a new one and be done with it.

i would say your about 50 percent worn.

My crystal ball tells me you replace just the clutch disk or re-line and within 1000 miles your throwout bearing will seize up. Wanted to confirm, so checked my second crystal ball. Yep, throwout bearing, but this one added broken springs in the pressure plate as well. Rare that both of them are wrong. Renew everything while you're in there. Clutches are one thing I've had a lot of personal exp with.
