It's a JWT clutch for a 350z.

Yeah the edges are nasty, what even would cause something like that?

[tehehodi]

Was the inspection plate on? Maybe something fell in there?. Some rivets pop off?

[Halon]

Yes it was, and also it's not really useful anymore because of the whole adaption, things aren't as they were intended. There really is no way to use the inspection cover anymore with the swap.

[A//// Guy]

That disc is just falling apart, weird. Well hopefully a new clutch solves all the issues!

[tehehodi]

Is the pilot bearing still okay? Maybe something got jarred to cause the outer ring of the disc to catch something. Probably excessive heat or something and warped the whole thing.

[Halon]

Yeah I'm not really sure. You can see what I can see, I don't really know anything more than that. I think excessive heat is a likely contributor, especially considering it finally let go at the track after launching which involved a little bit of slipping / dumping the clutch.

I can stop by as well. Can help with the hood, and would like to see the disc and pressure plate. I'm guessing the distortion of the disc (and friction discs on the disc) is likely the issue. It doesn't take much variance in thickness(including overall "thickness" caused by warping..) of the disc or cut of a flywheel for a setup to hangup or not fully disengage.

The heat spots on the pressure plate indicates this thing isn't disengaging, combined with your last day at the track..

[Halon]

Sure feel free to swing by some day. Hit me up on my phone, because I usually only have certain windows that work. Winding down the kids for bedtime is a bad time for example, lol.

[turbotalon1g]

lol, don't worry jigga I know about that.

Put the clutch disk on the pressure plate. It should lay nice and flat when your press one side to the other side. How is the input shaft on the transmission? Can you see what else rubbed on the clutch disk?
