Damage from WOT 3rd back to 2nd...PICS Gallery
I was at WOT and went from the top of third back into 2nd.
Broke the bellhousing, disc and pressure plate. The mating surface on the pressure plate is about 1 inch off centered.
My new Mcleod clutch and bellhousing will be here sometime this week.

So far everything looks and runs ok. I pulled the PR's and they were all straight, so my next thought was a valve. Before I went as far as pulling the heads I thought I would put a straight edge on the valve stems. They all were the same height, so that got me looking in other places. Got under the car and saw the crack on the bellhousing and went from there. I should have everything by the middle of the week and all back together this weekend. I guess I will know then.

All that dammage could have come from a burst clutch( overspeed but not engaged to the engine). Those should be happy feetses as they could have clutch part visitors through the floor.

That's why I bought that new McLeod bellhousing. Hopefully I won't test it's limits but there shouldn't be anything that goes through it.

I had a buddy driving my car and he did that as well... Tapped all my valves to my pistons... Lucky enough I had a warranty and a few good friends... Got me 400rwhp out of it. 
Goodluck man! I hope thats it!
