Default Clutch Ownage

So I'm driving down the free way when I head out of no where some strage *** racket in my engine, and it starts hesitating. After some screwing around I realize its clutch related, since when the car in in netural it'll start fine, but I can't go in gear. I limped it home with my mad rev matching skills and no clutch shifting to find this....





So uh... any one want an unsprung clutch?

Thankfully no, It stayed in the very center where the bolts are, a few of them are missing chunks. However, the mating surface is fine!

Crazy all of them went out. I had a friend I did clutch job on, when we took out the tranny 2 springs fell off. I guess similar situation, they didn't damage the flywheel, but it was strange. Also my friend's car had 180k miles, and it looked like a factory clutch, well what was lef tof it.

I have to send out Props to LSD Motorsports too. I sent an email yesterday, sunday, and got a phone call in less than 10 minutes! Its so hard to find customer service like that. I have a clutch specialties stage being shipped next day, that should do the job.

Actually I really don't, I don't race or do any 10,000 rpm drops. I'm pretty sure its a high mileage stock. The 7lb flywheel may be a little hard on it, though.


it happened like 2 miles from home, so I limped it home, thats why the rest popped out.
