GG Clutch basket photos

Before and after - 2001 xc300
zero holes, 18 holes at 3/32 inch
I have a good feeling about this hot rod mod.

I now have 32 holes in the inner hub, all of which are about 50% larger than the originals. I also drilled very large holes in the webbing of the basket. I used a drill press to do all of the work, it was very easy. Could have done it in a vise with a drill i'm sure. The hardest part was getting the nut that holds it all together lose. First try with a weak impact was unsuccessful, then used an electric impact of a friends and that worked well. I didn't even know they made such a thing. Ill report back on the results, but i am hopeful.

so did drilling holes in the hub work for y'all?

Oil out = oil in. What did you do to get more oil in the inner hub?

Unknown. That's the next thing to check. I was reading that thread the other day...

when you're in there, check: steels are flat, measure overall stack height, maybe you have a thick plate in there somewhere? basket or hub grooved? slave bled? what fluid you running?

Just to have all the info in the same place:

The 2012 GG clutch cover is designed to improve oil flow to the clutch hub/centre and should solve this, along with a different coating on the basket. This is interchangeable with earlier models as a squeal-fix

My clutch does not squall anymore but, it does drag a bit which makes the bike hard to start in gear. Would changing the stack height help that?
