Ok before anyone flames, I searched but my computer was once again.. stupid, and just sits and loads.. and loads... and loads. Wont complete a search.

Anyway, I have a 92 Si, and about 3 months ago my buddy and I put a clutch in it, just a no name **** one from Advanced Auto.

The other day I was having problems with the clutch engaging / disengauging. At first I thought maybe it was air because I had replaced the slave cyclinder. But I bleed it numerous times.. correctly.

So I finally dug into it, took the tranny off. When I did a quarter sized piece of clutch fell to the floor. This was my first clue.

I didnt have a 12 point 10mm so I couldnt remove the pressure plate, but from what I could see, about half of the clutch pretty much exploded. Ill have some more info / pics tomorrow or the day after.

When I bought the clutch it came with a 3 year warrntee. With it only being about 3 months from the install, makes me wonder. Did I just get a poor clutch? A defective one?

Any Imput Would Be Awesome

TIA!

i don't know but i'd definitely be getting my money back and a new one the only down side is they may say it wasn't installed properly

I was just wondering if anyone has heard or had this happen before.. if I dont get my money back.. its a d series clutch.. only need the disk.. so shouldnt be more than like 40-60 dollars

Any more Imput?

Did you do any high rpm launches before it was broke in? That could've helped.

Just go on ebay, get a exedy street disc, like 80 bucks.... save yourself any future headaches. I bought my car from a friend, they had a napa clutch in it, sucked, never had a clutch chatter soooo much in my life. Slipped so easy, got the exedy in there, no more chatter, no more slip. Oh, and this is in my daily driver four door, so no it wasn't abused, the NAPA that is

Happened to me, but I was pushing a stock clutch w/ a 50 shot of nitrous. Knew it was pushing it, it blew up on me. No friction material left on the disc.

ok well good news.. I called advanced auto and there like "suure just bring it in with the pressure plate and your good to go."

Best thing is they have it in stock.. usually NO ONE has parts for my car in this crap hole of a state

I took some pictures of the clutch disk, Ill post them once I get home

Just glad to get my eg back on tghe road.. just in time for xmas shopping this weekend
