No worries Tennbamaman!
I am getting mine from buzzard racing in royal oak MI. He's on Facebook. Give him a call. Very nice fellow and he will set you up.

I have my seal on order and i went ahead and ordered it from Partszilla.  I ordered a couple of other things as well.  I bought the harbor freight metric impact socket set that included the the large 27mm.  i also bought a cheap impact driver.  Hopefully the clutch nut will just come off.  I do not plan to use anything other that the impact tool at first.  im ready to get that seal put in and get it back together.  I have the clutch plates and stuff in order.  I will have to research the rubber cushion.  I have them but not sure whether they attached to the either of the friction plates or steel plates?  I think they just go on around the middle of basket in between the friction plates and steel plates.  I will study the parts and service manuals carefully when its time.

I bought crank seals from Buzzard dude in MI, they were NOT SW type in my particular case. Not trying to be a buzzkill, the dude is a good seller and I have bought other good stuff from him, but make sure you get the proper seals for crank that have two spring-loaded lips which is something very important that I learned from this group.

I leave the rubber cushions out.  They fit inside the stock steel plates...  I think there's a groove in the rubber.  You must use original frictions or equivalent to use them.  There's a great thread on clutches and what parts people use to stop slipping and improve clutch.

Thanks Mark T.  Mine do have grooves in them and it did look like they fit inside one or the other.  I will search and review for the thread you mention.  Prior to taking apart, my clutch lever was very hard to pull in and originally was not working.  After, tying the lever pulled in for a couple days it started working but was still hard to pull.  Im hoping after separating plates and reinstalling, it will be better. Just as a test and as you would expect, with the springs and pressure plate removed, lever pulls very easy.  Thanks

Hard pull is usually dry cable or gummed up actuator in side cover.  Someone could have put strong springs in but that's not too common to find.
