Clutch setups being friction material and true surface should be treated just like a brake job, no oily finger prints and spray down with brake cleaner before final assembly. If the index marks are made with a sharpie, guess what?

(EDIT): Diaphragm PPs are basically once-and-done, BB, Long, and multi-disc clutches you can reuse/rebuild the PPs, and marking the index is more critical.

They used a dab of yellow paint stick looks like to me. The marks weren’t left on a friction area.I cleaned the surfaces well with brake clean. After only a few miles I also have a chatter I’m hoping will go away after some more driving. I’ve never had one act like this out of the other clutches I’ve replaced.
