Clutch Time?

MustangMatt96GT · August 7th, 2009, 04:03 AM

Well this is not for my car, but for my friends Scott's car that is in my garage in pieces right now... i was putting the clutch and flywheel on today, when I looked close and saw this....

So i don't know much about these clutches in these cars, as its been a while since I seen one...

Does that need replaced? I personally think it does, but want a second opinion, before I go and spend 400 bucks for a new clutch and a turning of the flywheel that is not my money...

I have permission from him to spend the money and I will be paid back from Scott, but I am not sure.

What are your guys thoughts?

I have seen Worse,But if he don't mind spending the money your already there i would just do it to know that its brand new and not have to worry about it for a while

it looks good to me from the pics, there is plenty of room till it gets to the rivets. if its a stocker, i would just go ahead and get a good one. there are plenty of burn marks on the pressure plate to make me think its time to replace.

It's a spec stage 1.... The flywheel and pressure plate are hot spotted pretty bad.... I'll have to call up Scott and see what he wants.

SWEET2KSTANG · August 7th, 2009, 04:53 PM

might just surface the flywheel, and maybe scuff the pressure plate. and tell him to learn how to drive it right.

330CubeGt · August 7th, 2009, 05:25 PM

Spec Is the Biggest POS...

Clutches period are POS, unless your talking about the 13 of them I have in my C4....

lol

automatics with manual valve bodies FTW

SWEET2KSTANG · August 7th, 2009, 10:07 PM

eh, depends on set up. i dont mind the auto's, but prefer the manuals.

MustangMatt96GT · August 7th, 2009, 10:26 PM

I enjoy driving my pickup as a manual when I have the trailer on it, but would not mind an auto in it....

But I was thinking, take a newer 5 speed automatic with a small convertor in it with two tranny coolers. Put a manual valve body in it and see how that would work on a road course. No more missing shifts ever. Something I may do eventually.

You'll start going through trannies like no bodys business if you downshift them with manual valve bodies.
