I took my tranny off yesterday and got the clutch off today....

I was told by my tuner that my clutch felt as if "it is binding up or the throwout bearing isn't working properly"

If anyone sees anything out of the ordinary please let me know...

This is how the clutch looked when I removed it

Is this normal to have wear around the ring of the outside? I inspected the bellhousing for any signs of wear and didn't see anything... the paint on the clutch is scratched off but the metal hasn't really been gouged.

If anyone sees anything out of the ordinary (how it's mounted, throwout bearing, etc) please let me know.... I'd hate to have to order a new clutch but if that's what it takes then so be it.

Cheers

-Andrew

if it is just the clutch being sticky, then you can try gettin another throwout bearing, should be pretty cheap from coventreys etc, or clean the existing one up with some degreaser etc. clean up the shaft and grease it up, then stick it all back together and see how it goes...if it is sticking it is probably the bearings in the throwout bearing or the shaft is sticky not letting the bearing to move smoothly...

could be the fork or the slave cylinder...but not likely by the look of it....

Just take the flywheel of and go get it machined ($50) and get a new throwout bearing and clean everything properly..leaving no grime anywhere inside the bellhousing nor on the clutch..grease the spigot shaft with proper grease...dont put grease on the throwout bearing cos it can flick of at high speeds and go onto the clutch plate and then the clutch plate will slip hardcore...put it all back together...test out the slave cylinder to see if its working properly as well..

      You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.

      Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
