Clutch Spring

I have a 2007 UC and I am looking into order replacement clutch plates.
According to the HD site there are 2 "kits":

37969-03A (metal plates, fiber discs and spring)
37980-10 (metal plates, fiber discs)

If I am going to do this work, should I replace the sping or use the old one?
My gut says replace it given that I would think heat would weaken the spring over time, but then I questioned why they would sell the spring seperately as well as with and without the plate/discs?

Thanks for any advice.

According to my chart, both part numbers have same list price of $169.95.
I can't understand why that would be because it does not say 1 number was substituted?

I figured it may be a typo on the website, but Zannotti's lists both part numbers as the same price ($142). I'll try contacting my local dealer and see what they say...

Thanks for the reply Hoople!

I agree with you, and given how simple the spring is (in design) I would think that there would not be a problem using a new one. Maybe it is my bad luck, but I have had problems installing something "new" and it was defective from the start. It always makes me think, if it is not broken and works, don't replace it. Then I end up out thinking myself!:p

This weekend I am replacing the fuel filter and installing my new headers that came in yesterday from JetHot (originals cracked and I welded them). The clutch will be next weekend or later, but I am trying to get all the parts together well in advance.

Thanks for the advice!
