I replaced the friction disks a few months back and never knew anything about this "alternate grove" and have no idea if I did it or not, I just put the new friction disks in.
What is this and why do we need to do it, what happens if I didn't get it right?
Not so fast.......
My guess is that you are alright.
The "alternate" just means fitting things up on the basis of disc/plate/disc/plate etc. as you do the stack building up of the basket.
The outer "disc" gets indexed differently, noting that the OEM outer is colour coded Green.
So as long as you first fitment was a disc, and you then "alternated" correctly with your subsequent fitments, and used the dedicated outer disc in the outer position and mounted it to the clutch cover, you are A OK.
Just revisit your work by memory based on the above, and see if you think you still might have an issue.
Hopefully you don't.
I don't remember the last disk being different. I remember the first disk in was different and so I followed the pattern that was there already, but I don't remember any of the other disks being different.
Ok, now I get it. There's a 2nd set of slots and the last disk goes in the 2nd set of slots. Now I know what to look for. Two things, 1. A different disk 2. set into a different set of slots.
I'm going to open it up and check.
