Yep..I was thinking just that when I saw first the pic. I had the same thing happen to me racing on a road course (Willow Springs Big Track) and have seen it happen to others.
You down shift on heavy braking without properly matching (blipping the throttle) the revs! Clutch lets go and the center springs explode along with the disc. Good thing....imagine what would happen to the tranny if it didn't grenade.:) Now, if ya did exactly the same thing with a beefier clutch..guess who takes the punishment now;).
Be carefull.

Much luck with that. ;)

I think Ill take it easy for awhile for sure:twothumbs

mongorat427 06-05-2011 10:22 AM

Drove around after I readjusted the shifter and ZZP rod. Feels real good but didnt get on it yet. :lol::lol::lol: Going to a couple car shows today to break it in some more.

mongorat427 06-05-2011 10:27 AM

:cussing::cussing: Grrrrrrrrrrr F--kin slave let go. It was the brand new upgraded one. Came out this morning and the master cylinder was allready half empty. I drove home last night without the clutch 4 miles slowly by matching gears to shift and when I had to stop I just turned the car off and started it up in first gear. F-------------kin ^$@$*&(^$#!!!!$%^$#*)_&:cussing::cussing::cussing: :cussing:

Plus I got a coon or some other critter going crazy in the back yard. He picked the wrong time to F--K with me:guns::cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing:

mongorat427 06-06-2011 08:47 AM

Figured it out allready. Those dick heads used the old slave pipe over again. The new one is still in the parts box I gave them with the new shit.:cussing::cussing::cussing::cussing:

Wow man, you've been through a lot!! Hopefully he picks up the labor on this one too!

mongorat427 06-06-2011 10:27 AM

Ill do it myself. I dont trust the f--ks. Every time you take the car in for service it sits for 3 weeks. My son in law is a tech and will help me.

mongorat427 06-13-2011 06:11 PM

mongorat427 06-15-2011 07:40 AM

Well I paid for my ZZP trans yesterday and sent my LSD core in as well as my 4.45 gearset. Ill be on vacation till july 10th so I might get it back by then

Sorry, but the clutch should see almost no wear from downshifting. I assume you're stuffing it into gear w/o heel-toe (or at least a hard gas blip) on the way down. This means you're using the clutch as a brake. Of course it's going to let go at some point, it's just that yours was rather dramatic.

A stronger clutch is only going to hide the root cause here. I do about 150 NLS and matching downshifts a day while I'm at the track. I'm still on the stock clutch.

mongorat427 06-16-2011 08:21 AM

The stock clutch was the one that let go

kxrida2000 06-16-2011 01:39 PM

I know I was just stating that spec clutches fucking suck as well as their customer service does
