Just picked up an '81 Passport (pretty much the same ol Honda 70 engine that's in the CT70s, etc) that seems to have some clutch issues. To get it adjusted, I have to back out the screw well past the point of "just touching" - multiple complete turns, in fact. This to get it to shift smoothly and remain in neutral with the pedal depressed. But, once I get to that point, there's some slippage while riding and kickstarting. So, sounds like it's time for some new friction plates at the very least.
My wife just got a scooter, and I'm trying to reinforce her interest in going for rides, so I do not want to have my engine apart longer than necessary. Thus, I'm planning on ordering all the parts before I pull the side cover. New friction disks, springs, lock washer, and cover (inner and outer) gaskets. I already have the odd 4-prong clutch socket from doing this on a CT70. The problem is that DrATV/Beatrice Cycle is out of stock of half these parts. I'm looking at sourcing them from multiple locations, but by the time I pay multiple shipping fees, the price adds up to just about the same as this:
Honda CT70 C70 Complete Auto Clutch Assembly Brand New | eBay
Honda SS50 CL70 CT70 Complete Clutch Assembly Brand New | eBay
(not sure what the difference is between the two...)
Does anyone have any comments on or experience with the quality of these kits?
Thanks!

p.s. It's good to have a lil honda again!
