I recently purchhased a stage 5 comp clutch I put about 150 miles on it and pulled the motor and found this.




I'm thinking the flywheel wasn't resurfaced right and this is what's causing the uneven wear. Any thoughts??
Thanks for any feedback

Needs more miles put on it... Thats why they tell you to observe a 500mile break-in period.
The wear pattern will smooth out.

Thanks for the reply
I took it back to the shop who resurfaced it and they said it may be the pressure plate.
I had a problem with the clutch taking off in first I thought it might be related to this problem.
If I let the clutch out as slow as I could it would just launch violently and of I didn't keep the Rpm's past 3000 I would bog out . But from your reply I'm thinking it may be my slave cylinder??? Any thoughts on that?

I've seen nothing but hit or miss from comp clutches and mediocre customer service. I recently replaced my clutch and went with a fx300 from clutch masters. It holds great and I have no issues with it as of yet(1500 miles on it). My car is making 330hp, as a reference.

I finally got a new gsr trans and test drove it yesterday.
I replaced my slave cylinder at the same time.
It feels a lot better. Its easy to drive now and I still only have maybe 150 miles on the clutch.
So I'm sure after 500-1000 miles it should feel better.
