Okay, I bought a T-56 from a guy, and picked it up today from the freigh comppany. He originally told me that it would come with MTI's light wieght flywheel and pressure plate (from spec) with an ls6 disc. When I picked it up today, it came with what appears to be an LS6 flywheel, disc and pressure plate. This wouldn't be bad, except for the fact that all of these pieces appear to be junked. Both the flywheel and pressure plate have two large hot spots (the spots on the flywheel can be seen on the back side). In these spots, material appears to have flaked off (up to .008" to .010" in areas). Also, the disc is flaking off around the edges, and there is very little material (.005" in some cases) from the top of the rivet to the surface of the disc. All of this can be seen in the pictures below. As I mentioned earlier, I'm assuming these pieces are pretty much worthless.

Now, I'm trying to decide where I go from here. First, I'm going to call the guy who sold me this crap, but eventually, I'd like to go aluminum flywhell with ls6 disc and pressure plate. I'm assuming aftermarket aluminum flywheels have a friction surface that can be replaced? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

That clutch is toast.

Burnt toast.

 

That's what I figured. And I assume the flywheel and pressure plate are shot as well?

 

It appears there was a misunderstanding, and I should be getting the parts I was originally told I was getting.
