Clutch Wear Patterns?
So Blaen99 and I are out swapping transmissions, and we're replacing his clutch and resurfacing his flywheel.
His clutch worries us though, here's some pics:
So it just looks funky.
We think it's either a Mazdatrix "race" clutch, but it says Exedy on it.
Is this clutch good?

Insanely overbudget on the car and I need to get it running ASAP. I can re-do it the right way in a few months when I have more disposable income, but I'm in the middle of moving right now, so having the car bite into my moving budget is not something I can afford much more of.
Additionally, just had a very experienced mechanic look at it, and he said it was very close to new/had extremely little wear.

Thank you man. We were beating our heads out on how it could have even gotten wearing patterns like that.

FYI those are not high spots
That is carbon fiber inlayed in the friction material.
It helps hold the material together and also for saftey.
If it decided to crack it wont fly apart as easily.
Measure the distance from the disc surface to the rivets.
you should have about 2-3 mm min if it's about there replace it.
It looks like you could use a new one.
Just replace the disc.
You can find one for about 60-80
I would go with stock form the dealer.
they one of the best.
OEM Pressure plate
