Noob clutch lifespan question Monstwr stage 3 Soooo I'm a total clutch noob and this will be my first high horsepower manual transmission.
I just got my Monster stage 3 in the mail and in sitting here looking at the clutch disk. I'm wondering how long it's supposed to last? It looks like there is about a 1/16th of an inch of friction material above the rivets. Seems like the first sloppy engagement or slipping and it's metal in metal.
Am I just being paranoid???

The ceramic friction doesn't wear that fast, customers have gotten 50k miles out of the Level 3. Of course that isn't all dragstrip passes and a clutches life ultimately depends on the driver, here's a video of a Level 3 that was slipped a couple hundred times at the dragstrip and it still had plenty of meat left on it...
