After inspecting my clutch friction plate, I notice it was black on both sides. The Hanes manual suggests throwing the friction pad away if it looks like this, but they only show the four spring version. Is the 6 spring friction plate made of black material, or is mine soaked with oil?

Also, my throw out bearing is bone dry because this engine sat for so long. It spins freely, but it sounds like an old roler skate bearing or those old Schwinn bearings that they put in cruiser bikes. Can I just repack this thing with grease or is it toast?
