Hi everyone--
I got a lot of burn marks on both the plate of the clutch and the flywheel. The clutch is Competition Clutch Stage 2. The flywheel is stock; resurfaced when clutch was installed. I had the clutch less than a year and put less than 10K on it. I drove it pretty easy, and did not abuse it. Not sure what caused it. I'm getting the engine rebuilt, that's why I saw my clutch out. So my questions? Do I have them just put the clutch back in? Will those burn marks hurt anything? Should I order a new plate from Competition Clutch and get new flywheel? btw does getting a new plate fix the clutch? Thank you

Most of your "performance clutches" or "stage 2 clutches" etc. are designed for track use not daily driving. The OEM parts will last you a lot longer on a day to day basis then the "stage 2". I would only spend the money on maybe a lighter flywheel and stick to an organic clutch. Here is a great article on this subject from ACT http://www.modified.com/tech/modp-1206-in-...utch-tech-talk/
