If the clutch stays engaged after it has been used once, why do we need a clutch. 
Let's face it weld is cheaper than a new SC.
Yes the electromagnet does work and that stuff in the cut out areas does look like some sort of a paste that was applied there. Here is a zoom in photo of the electromagnet surface.

Anybody have more information on that theory that it is an epoxy paste filler or does anyone know how the surface of the magnet could be repaired / refinished??
