dang stock clutches...
So I found a freshly black topped twisty ass road so I decided to have a little fun, well my clutch really wasn't in the mood. After about 5 minutes of powershifts and clutch drops I can't get the thing into gear. I'm going about 30 at the time so somehow i got her to slip into 4th and drove the 30 miles home. I jack the car up and take off the dust cover thing by the clutch cable. I find three quarter size chunks of my clutch in the cover, I was like
 . I felt lucky and took my car out for a drive this morning, the clutch feels a little off and there is a little chatter but it worked just find, wtf. I guess I had it coming, stock parts can't handle my driving.

That is never good. I know that powershifting is hard on them. I quite doing it because, I can't afford to put another clutch in.
