Default Check out my Damage on the Clutch and Flywheel

The clutch and flywheel had about 8,000 miles on it. I was driving my Girlfriend home from a club at 2am and I lost the clutch.It wouldn't come out of gear. A spring blew out of the clutch and locked it to the flywheel.


I dont trust the flywheel any more, It could be warped. This sucks that flywheel is god damn expensive. The clutch was in GREAT shape. It barly had any wear on the meat. I'm so mad that was over 1k$ worth of damage. I don't know if this was my fault or not, It doesn't look like it. Whats your feedback?

Camera Phone action.



BTW, I have a Crack in my AWD Getrag, I need a new case section so if any one reads this and has one let me know.

Why don't you see if it's warped or not for real then? Same thing happened to my RPS Flywheel and I still used it with no ill effects.

Get it balanced and check for flatness and it should be fine

unfortunately, i think he already spent the money and got it all fixed. $1,000 is a LOT of money. this was probably your daily driver, but in the future, there are many of us here on 3Si that can help you out to save you many unnecessary expenses. you could pick up a used stock tt flywheel for probably $50 here.

Its not my Daily.. I have a saturn for that. Crappy 1995 SL1 I ride in un-style.

I havent spent the money yet. I just figured that would be the cost of a new clutch and flywheel.

I still have a perfectly good stock clutch and flywheel. I just hate down grading my car.
