Is my textralia used up? I had to pull my engine and looked at my clutch. It appears that there is only a little clutch material left before it gets to the metal studs. I am talking like a hair or two thickness.
Do these things come thin to begin with or do i need to worry? I only have about 5000 miles of city driving on it. I would hate for it to be used up already, i heard these were great clutches for the street and i dont ride it or anything unusual.
~400 rwhp cam with some nitrous shots here and there.
If it is infact used up, is there anyway to get just the disk plate replaced without doing the entire thing?

yes measure the thickness of the disk with some outside micrometers or calipers. IF you don't have either post up a pic, you can tell if its really bad. Manufacturers should have a call out on the thickness that it should be replaced at. pre mature failure is sometimes caused by hydraulics system GM did a poor job, seems the pressure of the new clutches is too much for the stock system.
