What about spraying a whole can of brake cleaner into the clutch
chamber? That stuff is a hell of a degreaser.

The mineral spirits way is the best if you don't want to pull the tranny and disassemble everything. Just pour some in the access hole on the side of the 5 speed while the bike is running and work the clutch. Be sure to block off the drain hole on the bottom of the bell housing before you do it.

"The mineral spirits are petroleum based and can mix with the gear lube and still leave some contamination impregnating the plates. You should place them on a rack at mid-level of a large (4 qt min) pan of water. Keeping them covered with water, boil each plate for at least an hour." Not saying it is the best/easiest way but it did work for me. Hacksaw PS Use an "old pot" not one the wife wants to cook chili in Ted Ward wrote:
