Wet Clutch Carrier Assembly
The carrier assembly houses the centrifugal shoes and friction pads. Slipping is mechanically caused by the degradation of these friction pads or the weakening of the retention springs, preventing the assembly from locking against the clutch drum effectively. Replacing the carrier restores the coefficient of friction required for torque transfer.

One-Way Bearing (Sprag Clutch)
The one-way bearing ensures the clutch only spins in one direction to provide engine braking. If the bearing sprags are damaged or worn, it can interfere with the smooth transition of the centrifugal engagement, leading to a sensation of slipping or erratic power delivery during deceleration and initial take-off.

Wet Clutch Drum / Housing
Repeated slipping generates intense localized heat, which can blue, warp, or score the inner friction surface of the clutch drum. If the drum is out-of-round or has deep grooves, even new clutch shoes will fail to achieve 100% surface contact, leading to premature failure and continued slipping.
