That does not look like a SPEC 3 disc and there is a hell of a lot of clutch dust built up in the pressure plate .

Is the pressure plate blue on the other side ? If so that looks like a SPEC stg 1 and looks like its got way more than 5K on it .

buying a used clutch is like change oil then put used oil filter.

why????
unless you wanna do clutch swap again in like two day

if you going through all the trouble to get to clutch, why not just buy brand new one!!!

that is just me, the brand new ls7 clutch with everything you need don't cost that much.

well, spec 3 is 6 puk design

so the disk is either 1 or 2.

and the pressure plate and flywheel got too much hot spot in it. it could be out of spec.

it just looks like head ache

Get a new clutch & be done w/it.

This is correct and its not a STG3+ either . It looks like a well worn stg 1 disc and pressure plate . I wouldn't give him more than $75.00 and thats only if I needed to to get by and was broke off my azz .

Do yourself a favor , shop around for a good deal on a new SPEC clutch and you won't even have to question it .
