No most A3 engine clutches are different then a A35 as the clutch lining material is asbestos not junky cork so you can use synthetic motor oil for good results,
But the problem with a3’s is they are geared extremely low, lower then a a35 and have brass con rod small end bushings not needle bearings like a a35/a55 so pushing high rpm with power ruins the crank bushing so you’re getting 2 bad things on a A3 over a a35 so kitting any Tomos engine you can still have issues,
You’re better off in the long run just stock modifying it by just putting an upgrade carburetor, exhaust and gear on, maybe a little porting and calling it a day,
I did/do that with every Tomos I had, ran them for many miles then sold them still running with nothing busted,
