Ryobi S clutches

Does anyone know anything about these so called S clutches?
I understand they are a centrifugal clutch, but do they require any adjustments or inspections or special handling.
I see instructions for removal, but not for installation.
Anyway I took one apart and the drum was worn. Like on the old brake drums it was hard to remove. The plates got a little bent.
I can install a new drum, but do I need to replace the plates and it seems I will need to re bend them?
Help
Also I see they used to use the centrifugal clutches with shoes. Why did they stop.
