What to do about clutch, wasted money $$ (kind of)
I bought the clutchmasters stage 4 kit a year ago and a half ago and wore the disc down from gently breaking in two different motors set ups, regular driving, no abuse, no drag racing.
I wasted my money on the clutch, I think, except for the fact that I can buy a new disc (stage 3) and mate it to the existing pressure plate. Pedal feel is still fine on the pp so after i visually inspect the old plate (assuming its fine) should I just buy a new bearing and put the new disc in or buy a whole new kit? Id be saving $300 that could go toward an LSD by buying just the disc.

Yes daily. Its almost fully built (minus head, IM, TB and 2.25 cat back). Im looking to spend $150-$200 for just a clutch disc and bearing. I want to try to avoid spending the $450 for the whole clutch kit again since I already have the pressure plate, only slightly over a year old and never been abused (no launching, no slicks etc).

Get a stage 3 disc and go to a oreilly's/pep boys/honda dealer and get an oem throwout bearing and slap it in. Don't forget to turn the flywheel (or better yet buy a new lightweight chromoly one. ACT streetlite goes for about $230). If you get yours turned make sure they don't do it on a brake lathe. It will **** it up.

I dont understand how you managed to burn through that heavy duty clutch while...

Also if you spent all that money to make 300+ whp, why would you drive it and not race/abuse it for over a year? Seems like you are exaggerating on how much you babied that clutch
