I think I have a clutch problem? pics Well last night I took the SS to my local drag strip for its first time since I got it. I get lined up for my first pass and take off easy (2.4 60ft) and start rowing threw the gears. I get to my 3-4 shift and the car doesn't go into 4th gear and grinds. I take my foot off the clutch and press back down and it goes to the floor with like almost no resentence. The pedal stays close to the floor for the rest of the run and there is a rattling noise coming from the trans/clutch area. I just pulled the shifter into neutral and coasted into the pit. I tried to push the clutch back in once I got it stopped but it just stays down, so I shut the car off and shifted threw the gears and it appears to shift fine. The car has a B&M shifter and the guy I bought it from said it had a new centerforce clutch and new flywheel and new slave and master. So fast forward to today and I pulled the trans and im not sure but I think the weights? on the pressure plate are broken? Im not sure if this is right but you can move the the ring of weights around on the plate. I don’t see any leaks and the spring on the slave isn’t broken. I wonder what happened. hhmmmmm

Another update
There appears to be no pilot bearing installed!
Without a bearing inplace im thinking the input shaft could move around and that caused the slave to break.
