Seems like Lewmar just responded to my e-mail to them and they're
sending me new re-designed springs.
I'll keep the group up-to-date with how things work out.

Anyone know a fix on Lewmar D1 rope clutches whose springs repeatedly
slip out of place? These are the ones with the "Domino Cluster" rather
than a single cam pressing against the line.
There's little to no wear on the metal plates (the fixed base plate and
the first "domino" of the cluster) that each leg/ear of the springs push
against, so I can only conclude that the legs/ears were designed a bit
too short - hence the slipping out of place. And of course the clutches
are beyond their 3-year warranty.
I'm waiting to hear back from Lewmar to see if I can get replacement
springs. No sense in spending $US 150 each for new clutches if a few $2
springs fixes them.
Good luck dealing with Lewmar.
