Leonard, if you still have the original shim packs in place, examine them very closely to see the individual shims. They are very thin and become very compressed over the decades. It may require a razor to separate them.
The service manual calls for a 0.065" clearance between the clutch plates at all points around the discs. This can be measured with a drill bit as a gauge.
The manual instructs to keep the clutch engaged when not in use to keep the oil squeezed from between the plates and minimize drag when the 80W oil is cold. Since the WD45 squeezes three pairs of plates in the space that the WD had only two, it is common to find the drag with high viscosity or cold oil.
