The pictures pretty much tell the story. In addition to the friction material wearing down, the plate tabs wear down from steps to points putting more play into the clutch pack--and not in the direction you want.

Replace em or you just wanna close up the primary again? Did mine after 8 years big difference. Stopped the chatter.

Is the inside of your basket worn to?

Oh ya Slider, definitely replaced. I tore it down to replace the basket ...that's another thread!

The inside of the basket had some wear but I'd have reused it if it weren't that the outside was destroyed
