In ten clues, part or all of the definition has had a letter added and the result jumbled, sometimes creating additional wordage. These clues need to be reconstructed before solving and then the 10 extras arranged to describe how the answers are to be treated  before being entered at a different location in the grid.

I am stuck on 2 clues ONE of which must be one of the 10 mentioned above...it yields an R

31a Time to contest bachelor's outgoing gossip (6)....think this is the normal one and answer is tattle ( Battle changes to Tattle)

36a Coroner incited satyrs (6)   grid entry is CO?TER  ( the T from Tattle...if that's correct...)

..possibly satyrs loses the R to become stays ....corset which goes in the grid as coster.....if this is correct how does coroner come into it?

31aTattle looks good

If satyrs yields an R and is jumbled it could become stays - a cotter pin ?

I would have preferred "cotters" plural!

I have to admit that I am confused by the instructions!

After reading the instructions again

Coster =anagram of corset

cor(oner abbrev) + set (incited)
