I was driving home from work and suddenly the car wouldn't want to go into gear anymore. I also noticed a noise coming from the transmission whenever I would press down on the clutch. At first I thought it was a bad throw out bearing..



closer up


If it wasn't for this damage I could have easily taken the clutch another 50k+ miles. The clutch still had a lot of meat on it. It almost looked brand new.

 

did you track it?

 

it's pretty common. an exedy stage one is just a oem disk with a beefed up pressure plate. so when you drive it hard, this will most likely happen... most of the time. just replace the disk

 

only tracked it twice on this clutch.

 

one word..
warranty...

 

No can do; passed their 90 day 6k mile warranty about 3 years ago.

 

ive done similar to an OE disc. were you doing a lot of burn outs and driving the holy **** out of the car?

 

not really. i'm a pretty conservative driver. I barely go over 4 rpms.

 

Buy a Better Disc...

 

Already did. thanks for your suggestion

 

Have you had tried competition clutch before?

 

No I haven't. Sorry

 

holy ****
I was gonna buy one for my em1..........

 

that disc and plate are fine, great actually. stuff happens every now and then.
