They really should be grooved. The oil has to escape from between the frictions and steels to get them applied.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

In the front drum Doug?
Spoke to the other supplier about alto thin smooths in the front clutch and his response was it made for a soft/mushy 2-3 change.

I believe I said they were interchangeable when the OP was questioning if they would fit size wise, tooth pattern, etc. The OE stuff years ago was specific material, groove pattern and thicknesses for the front and rear clutches. Now the aftermarket supplies a variety of performance materials, grooves and thicknesses. Blue Plates and performance frictions from Raybestos, Altos, Borg Warner, smooth, grooves, waffle, etc. I'm sure everyone has their own preferences and favorites.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Yes in the front drum. I actually run the stock ones in the rear drum. No issue with the shifts. Doug
