Title: Now thats one dead clutch
Post by mazzy_j on Jun 28^th, 2006, 2:44pm

Hi all,
you may remember me asking about clutches last week, well, today i took my car into work to put on the ramps and change the clutch just as a precautionary measure because it didn't quite feel right.

Took off the old clutch, and below is a photo of what the friction plate looked like :o

The friction material was very nearly down to the rivets and it looks as though its been repeatedly attacked by screwdriver! Even though it wasn't slipping it probably only had a few hundred miles left in it, caught it just in the nick of time. Phew! :)
