How notched is notched?

I have read all of the post concerning problems caused by notches in the clutch center, but being relatively new to Commandos, am not sure what would be considered 'bad.' My 75 Mk3 has some notching and other wear marks, but I am not sure if these are serious. The clutch has some peculiarities... hard to upshift and downshift (but only sometimes) and challenging to find neutral (but not impossible), but it stays in gear and doesn't seem to be slipping. The clutch pull is not 'one finger', but it is also not overly hard. Since I just can't seem to stop fiddling with things, I thought I'd try to make the clutch a bit more user friendly. Here are some pics of the notches. The second pic shows the deepest notch. So my question is: based on what you can see in the pics, are these notches and wear marks going to create problems? Thanks in advance for any insight.

You probably have enough wear and tear to warrant buying a new clutch centre. Clubman has them #063979 @ 134.50 ea. I replaced mine on my 1970 fastback and the clutch works fine. I also added a belt drive and wanted a clean start knowing that there would be no lube in there.

It is a bit worn but I've seen much worse. A lot depends on the state of your plates. If the inner lugs have worn like dragon's teeth then you need to replace both.

First check on the Mk111 has to be that the neutral switch is not screwed in too far and that the linkage is not too sloppy (they mostly are a bit).

It does sound as if your clutch is dragging so all the usual plate checks apply but I personally doubt if your centre is causing all your problems. That said, most Commando problems are a combination of small things.

I will check the neutral switch this weekend. As for the clutch plates... well, the PO thought he would get the best of both bronze and fiber plates, so both were installed (2 bronze, 3 fiber... new set of 5 fiber plates ordered). I'll probably put in a new center as well. Thanks for the replies, this board has been a lifesaver more than once.
