I see no one has responded to you. If you haven't solved the problem yet, a bit more info might help and maybe someone else will pitch in. Is this a straight 350 and do you have the service manual?

Are you putting back the same number and type of discs? Are they all new? Are they in correctly? Does your manual give you thickness for the discs and stack height? If it does did you check those items?

This may not be your issue, but check this older post out. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12383&p=69163&hilit ... scs#p69163

the one question i see....is where did you get the clutch packs....aftermarket may be suspect....Lavoy, the site owner does sell the proper parts for these machines...and at reasonable prices

also is good idea to add your location to your profile...in the login drop down box

We have corresponded, his parts came from Ebay.

Did you put one fiber past the snap ring? Bought a 350 cheap once because someone didn't and they couldn't adjust it.

Well... That answers a lot right there. I'm sure there are some good sellers who have good products on E-bay and Amazon. Finding them however is always a daunting task it seems. My experience has taught me to stay away from cheap and go with folks like Lavoy or a Deere dealer that handles aftermarket parts.
I did send this person a PM apologizing for missing their question. Like others have said, I hate it when a question goes unanswered. After contacting them I went through how to stack his clutch packs correctly. I haven't heard anything back so I hope for their sake that they have gotten them assembled and adjusted correctly.
