Combines F seperator clutch

Dave, I believe that you have your clutch just a tad tight. Maybe about one notch.

watch linkage on side,turnbuckle on back side may be to long so it doesn't pop out if it flexes pipe. a couple turns can make a difference

spend the $100.00 and get the OEM 71302903 along with the 3-71319416 springs and the 3- 70073925 clips. A few cracks in the pressure plates are kind of normal as long as they are flat they are ok. After replacement you will have to adjust the clutch once a day for a few days till it 'sets' in.
