Just In Case You Didn't Know What A Shagged Clutch Looks Like

[Bass Junky]

Hey ppls.

Well, here's the clutch that came out of my car today.

A nice new Exedy 8 button sprung centre thing is in there now.

BUT.

Things to spot below.....

Glazing

Heat colouration of centre section

Heat spots on pressure plate

Uber wear of friction material

[PTR33]

mmmmmmm bet it smells really nice too...........

[PHATR32]

meh, tis ok.

shagged is when u wear it down to the point where the rivets chew into the plate.

Wouldn't be stuffed if the pressure plate had a higher clamp force to begin with to prevent so much slip.

[paulr33]

Find the ones merli posted year ago or a bit more, his was FACKED

[Quinny]

I did the clutch in my R33 a couple of weeks ago, mine looked worse than that. I wish had kept it now to get some photos.

I should see if my mate got any photos of the clutch in his Pulsar, it exploded into lots of little pieces.

Either way Pete you can not claim credit for that piece of work, the honor goes to Leewah, for his lack of driving abilities

[Trust33]

haha..use twin plate next.....yum cha!!

[Jolinator]

roasted the clutch in my mates 12,000 kay old hilux doing burnouts offroad and pulled the entire clutch disk lining out of the gap between the box and bellhousing. lol

woah @ the heat colouration.

sorry for the hijack, but while we're on the topic of ferked clutches, this is a pic of my mates old 500hp r32 clutch after 5 hours of driving.

[Bass Junky]

After 5 hours?

What the hell happened to that?

[siddr20]

after 5 hours of driving

What the?? only 5 hours??? what did he do??

[PHATR32]

is he an auto driver?

hehehehhehehe

thats what you call f**ked.......

hope you didnt breath any of the fibers in

[adznight]

Hahaha, them's some BAD clutch picy's!

[PurpleR32]

Now that is what you call a farked exedy

[NA_R33]

hahaha, the if u knew the dude that owned it ud understand, also the clutch was no where near the power handling ability it was claimed to be from the shop that put it in for him.

[MANWHOR3]

what's wrong with breathing the fibres in? I htought they stopped using asbestos?

or am I wrong.

[Quinny]

Even if the clutch was not rated for the power of the car, I wouldn't think it would shred the clutch like that. I have seen clutches explode from being driven in stupid ways, my clutch was FUBAR when I pulled it out, but I have never seen a clutch do that. I reckon it is either a defective clutch plate or not put in properly.

[PHATR32]

no, it is possible to do that to any clutch.

the night before we put my bros clutch in he though he'd go out and thrash the clutch as much as he could.

basicly, he sat there and made it slip for ages, which caused the material to shit it self leaving the rivets there to scratch holes in the pressure plate.

he also f**ked up the flywheel (he had a new one to put in anyway)

all in all the car wasnt drivable and had to be pushed into the garage.
