Is it true 'the less clearance clutch plates have the better'?
Say if there'* too much clearance in 2nd gear housing, can I just add a friction/metal clutch?

You don't want them to tight as the will not completely release when the trans is hot and you burn the frictions.
That'* why we measure and use various thickness steels to get them within specs.
