I just got my clutch in today, bought it from a member on here. I was wondering is this okay? It looks as if it would be fine to me but I am just checking before I install this beast.









Here is the picture of the layers

 

I'd be pissed.

 

doesn't look too fucked up.... but still, I wouldn't want to go through all the work of the install to have the lining come apart in a week or 2

 

might start ripping at the tears and not wear evenly

 

yea that could easily **** **** up.

 

What kind of clutch is that?

 

I hate to be the bearer of good news when my buds have said otherwise, but...I'd carefully chip away the loose stuff and run it!

If that's the worst of it, I really doubt you'll have any problems. It was apparently mistreated in shipping or otherwise, but that's the most vulnerable portion, along the edge...and the damage is not likely to spread. The main lining portions appear to still be firmly bonded to the steel core, and overall, you've lost only like .05% of the total surface area. It's also inconsequential as to affecting the balance, since the lining material is so light anyway. If you can't get satisfaction via a replacement, I'd toss it in and not even worry.

 

Clutchmasters, im suppose to have this installed on Saturday(me and a buddy are doing it at the Chevy dealer on an off day).

Im glad to hear you say that! Thanks for all the help guys.

I guess there still is some technical left in css.net

 

Wtf? Why does that look like cork? Looks like someone went chomp chomp on that clutch

 

Its all in the shipping, this thing was probably thrown around. Got a call back from Clutchmasters and they said it looks fine, nothing major.

 

They are good people

I've worked with them for years, used their product in all of our cars. Never dissatisfied!

 

I was doing research before I bought the clutch and back in 06 when they were having problems with the pressure plate being to large I was skeptical about dealing with them. But I called them lastnight, emailed them pictures and they got back to me this morning to make sure everything was all good. So they are good in my book. Thanks again Bill

 

That's a good example! They introduced new product, had some issues, but proved themselves by getting behind it. Any new product intro runs this possible risk...been there myself! But the true mark of quality is how a company makes it right.

We recently had an issue with the Sunfire where our flywheel bolts backed out, trashing the flywheel and much of our twin-disc. No fault of the product...just a maintenence issue, for at 700+ HP, we have to now check those bolts from time to time!

Clutchmasters not only immedately got me replacement parts, they had to machine a flywheel to modify for our application...and did it the afternoon I called! I was impressed enough, but then I was about floored when they then called me back on Monday to make sure everything went all right and see how we did at the track that weekend.

 

To tell you the truth I wasnt expecting a call back but I was supprised and glad they did.

 

That is really cool to hear, but you do have to keep in mind that you are Bill Hahn Jr...



It's more impressive to hear them calling up the average "Joe Shmoe."

 

dont mess with the zo-HAHN


oh man that was a terrible joke.

lol

 

Actually, it is quite clever.

I have yet to see that movie...

 

You wont regret it

 

Is that an FX300? ^

I'm all over the place, I know...

 

hahahahaha!

 

Yup sure is

 

I've been back and forth between the 300 and 400 (6 puck).

For my current power levels, the 300 would be just fine, but I know that my numbers will be going up after a few projects this winter...

 

I will let you know how it feels once I get it in and broken in

 

Thanks!
