Twin, triple, or quadruple clutches have multiple clutch disks/plates and multiple floater plates. Clutch disks/plates always have friction material on them, but the pressure plate, floater plates and flywheel surface usually do not (except in the case of 'triple-carbon' clutches).

Here's an example of a quadruple disk, 'triple-carbon' carbon clutch:

It is literally the most expensive clutch for the Mkiv Supra Turbo (w/2jz-gte and V160). It has four clutch disks, three floater plates, and sixteen surfaces with carbon-fiber friction material.

Here's another top-of-the-line clutch for the Mkiv Supra Turbo. It's RPS' triple carbon:

In this illustration, you can more clearly see all of the clutch disks and floater plates.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
