Default Just pulled my clutch. How does it look?

I don't have a lot of experience with clutches, can someone tell me if I should re-install this bad boy or order a new one?

A lot of hot spots on the PP and flywheel. The one i pulled from my C5 wasn't even that bad and i tossed it.

IMO, replace it now while it's easy...if you beat on the car, go with an LS7 clutch or an aftermarket setup, stock LS1/6 clutches don't take much abuse

Clutch looks ok but that pressure plate is toast. Looks like they just put a new clutch disc in the old pressure plate and flywheel.

Toss them

I agree it has a lot of hot spots from slippage, whether intentional or not, how much power do you make or plan to?

Roughly 440 at the crank currently being made. No immediate plans to go higher.

At almost 50% more power than stock, I'd recommend putting a better clutch in there especially if you're going to to be driving it aggressively. Don't hesitate if you have any questions about a Monster or would like a quote. Chris, 817-750-2000

Monster is top notch stuff and everyone i've heard with them loves them. I liked my south bend but they don't have the clutch that i bought anymore. The higher end clutch kits aren't gonna be cheap but you won't regret going with a better one. Also do a remote bleeder
