Hi Guys,
I am trying to figure out the assembly of my valks clutch, and reading instructions from the manual I quote,Disc B, (first disc on clutch centre) has no identification notches and disc A (installed after damper plate) has 3 notches, fine, I understand lining up the (O) marks with pressure plate and clutch centre and alternating the clutch discs and clutch plates, BUT, they say in manual that clutch B has no identification notches, but they have, some have one and some have two. Does it matter what way the rest of assembly are fitted providing, the first 3 are correct, and if so what position do i place the notches. OR do i have the wrong clutch discs. Please please advise.Ps I hope this makes some sense to you all.

The B disc  has larger tabs and is labeled as 425.  

The A disc has 3 notches in the tabs and is labeled as 825A on the tab.


After making sure the damper is aligned with the o, and after the first A,the rest alternate steel plate and clutch disc.  All the teeth will have to be aligned when you line up the disc tabs in the clutch basket.  The damper plate is the only one you have to align.

Hope this helps

Thank you Chrise, I am looking at them as I type and you are perfectly right.
That is a much clearer instruction than the manual gives me,
Much obliged
