Hhmm - the center of the clutch breaking makes me wonder if something isn't right with your transmission's input shaft. The exploded friction material is a sign of excessive heat or, in my case, excessive rpms. Is it possible that the center of the disc is getting destroyed when the friction material flies off? Any leaks from your engine or trans?
BTW, how do you use this car? Play car? Street car? --- Brian Wicks <[email protected]> wrote: > The Center of the disk usually self destructs, however I have also > had the > actual surface "chuck" with pieces torn out.
