I know this is the wrong forum, and Ricey or Bauly please feel free to move if necessary. I just felt I would get the best opinions from this area.

So, I was told that my clutch showed "obvious signs of abuse/misuse" after it was removed. It was in my car for 2 weeks and 1000 miles. Tell me what you think the first 2 pictures are a brand new clutch the second 2 are of my clutch. Also, I was told that the blue was caused by "burn" or excessive heat.. but I find that hard to belive since the brand new one shows blue too. Tell me what you think!

 

Uhh, you sure you showed the pics right? Because the first 2 look better then the 2nd 2.
Also the blue does look like its heating up pretty bad, but im not sure what would cause that.


Edit: What type of pressure plate do you use, also has it been resurfaced?

I corrected it, the first two are the new one. It's all on brand new stock parts: pressure plate, tob, flywheel, and disk.

If the bluing is caused by heat, why is the Brand new never installed one blue too?

 

damn ive seen clutches look better after 200000 miles lol...

 

it looks about right to me....i dont think that it would look brand new after 1000 miles.... but they do look a little worn for 1000 miles....hahaha

 

thanks for the replies. I guess I will have a certified tech. check it out.
