The more plates you have, the more torque capacity the clutch has. Automatics have 6 or more plates per stack, since they need to get the torque capacity in a small package.

Let me be sure I've got this. The black ring attaches to the flywheel and the metal disc between the two friction discs so those three metal parts turn as one. When the clutch is engaged, the forward friction disc presses against the flywheel and the aft friction disc presses against the metal disc. Is that correct?
