The clutch went out so we took it apart and i wasn't expecting this.

Is this even possible because i only have around 2k on it.

that's why you don't buy shitty ebay clutches,.. and next time resurface your pressure plate.

 

I think you meant to say re-surface the Flywheel, and that looks like a spec clutch.

 

 

There had to have been a build problem with the clutch, call spec and I bet they will fix you up.

yeah i called spec they said i need a receipt and has to be with in 120 days of purchase. Also i bought the car with the clutch in but still theres only 2k on it. and yeah im pretty sure they dont have a un-branded clutch and why would i even buy that.... also you cant resurface the pressure plate...

Then just order a new disk from them, it should be more than $120 or so. The pressure plate got hot on one side which is strange, I would check the throwout bearing and all the mating surfaces for the pressure plate very close. I would also have the flywheel machined.

I've heard (2nd hand mostly) of a lot of people having trouble with spec clutches. I know they tend to explode on the f-body guys. I've heard of a lot of the mustang guys ending up with clutch chatter and some reliability problems. I'd say if they don't replace it under warranty you should look elsewhere.

Judging from the friction surface of his pressure plate it looks to be a bit warped.. which would indicate it needs to be resurfaced.. but it's smart to resurface both pressure plate and flywheel if possible.

 

I didn't have it done on my own car or anything.. :confused:

 

 

act ftw

 

ACT is garbage too.. horrible chatter with almost all of them.
