So what clutch is that anyways? Never heard of clutches just shattering unless installed improperly.

if you watch the part of the video right brfore the clutch went, you can see he dropps the clutch trying to do a burn out but the tires grab and the clutch starts slipping like crazy while this guy is standing on it. You can see in that picture they had that theres pieces of the pressure plate flying out from under the car that are glowing hot, my guess is it got so hot it just came apart from all that friction. Judging by the hot spots on the flywheel this guy was not being very nice to this car.

I bought a motor out of a 2000 vette that had a broke starter mount for $600, welded up a big glob of aluminum ground it down and tapped it for a perfect starter mount. Put it in my truck and never looked back...
