On a scale of 1-10, 1 being why the hell did you replace It? 10 being i cant belive the car was still driving with that clutch.

I just pulled mine out today too and it looks almost exactly like yours. Are you going to use that same flywheel and get it turned or just get a new one? Thats my dilema.

I'd say 6-7. All of that discoloration on the PP means is slipping a lot and overheating. Resurface the flywheel until you have a uniform and clean appearance.

The wear marks are almost gone on the disc and their is a lot of heat spots on the pressure plate and flywheel . It would work if you are in a pinch but I'd probably replace it if you plan on keeping the car .

Damn, I have 20k more miles but probably 20 less 1/4 runs and my clutch looked the same as yours, but the pressure plate was not as heat soaked. Guess that shows what racing does lol
