That drum will not blow up. Peace of mind indeed. I have never seen any direct comparisons,and I understand that the thinner clutches give more surface area and holding ability, but it seems to me that for longevity, five thicker clutches would last longer before the friction material wears down to the steels. The piston would just advance further out as the clutches wear down over time, but the thinner ones have much less material before they get down to the steel. Hmmm.
