Lt 500 Clutch

[MN250R]

I just recently took my clutch apart cause it was sticking from sitting for a while. I used to run gear saver oil. But i thought i would try the ATF that people say works as well. Is atf type F different from ATF mercron i think it is? I put in a quart of ATF Mercron Dexron I had. Started up great, squeezed in the clutch hand put it into gear. Everything went in gear fine, but the machine wants to creep forward a little. I tried adjusting but wasn't working. hmm would the oil cause that or no?
should i try type f?

Thanks

Chances are, your basket has some wear, grooves. You can take it off and file it down once or twice depending on how bad it is.

Well i fixed the problem with the drag, i filed the basket grooves down a little. But I get some vibration like a rattle from the clutch when it idles , but as soon as i squeeze in the clutch it goes away. release the clutch and the rattle comes back. I don't get it,
It goes into gear fine and works perfect. but i know that rattle isn't supposed to be there when the clutch is released. Could that be caused by the thrust bearing or are the clutch and springs shot? I cant tell in my manual which way the thrust bearing goes. Anyone know from these pictures? I installed it like in picture 1

I miched the springs and the service limit said 31mm. Mine are at 30mm.
wonder if that would cause it to rattle
