Default 1st. time doing clutch job, how does my stocker look?

Well I decided since I was getting short on funds, to go ahead and tackle my 1st. time ever doing a clutch, so I pulled my stocker out today, took about 5 hrs. laying on my back in the garage, good times...

Anyways Im hoping my monster level 4 clutch comes in tomorrow. Mine was getting pretty weak, and I only had to push the pedal down a inch or two to shift, it was engaging almost at the top of the pedal. And it didn't pull as hard as it use to. Just took some pics and seeing if any of you manual guys can tell if my stocker was close to it's last leg? pics below.
Im replacing the flywheel, w/a lightweight billet. and new slave cyl. pilot,throwout bearing press. plate and a 6 puc. disk. Hopefully she will have 11's in her this fall. Oh yeah pics below... :thumbup:

looks like a stock clutch that was road hard. The pressure plate and flywheel have some nasty hot spots. Any plans on changing out the master to an ajustable?

I wish I could get the tick unit, but Im completly out of funds. so I hope the stocker will get me by, then hopefully before winter I will get the tick unit.

Yeah, the disc doesn't look horrible, but there's a lot of hot spots on the PP and FW.

Man, thats exactly what mine looked like after I pulled it apart for my monster III install. And I mean exactly!! Ive got probably close to 60 or so track passes and 80lbs of nitrous on a 150 shot run through it (dynoed 515tq) and it was just stating to slip when banging gears on a sticky track. I think for a stock clutch, these actually don't due to bad. Youll like your monster. First hard 1-2 shift I made I thought I was going to leave my rear end behind me in a million pieces
