Talking Finaly Fixed

Well, Jenkin and I finaly got the clutch fixed on the vert. What is funny though is the clutch disk was destroyed, well one side of it anyways. The side towards the pressure plate was just destroyed. Anyone have an idea as to why that might have happened?
I would really like to thank Jenkin for his help.

See you all at Izzys

good to hear its fixed!, have u been driving hard?, shifting hard?, doing hard launches? at all, or slipping th cluthc exessively??, that will cause the disk to shatter on one side.

Maybe

Mom always has room for me lol, just gotta deal with my brother. Will have to see if I am feeling better before I make the trip. Will give you a call Allen.

The clutch isnt anyting special, just a stock replacement from baxters, 171$(used my military discount). I think what might have happened is the trottle keeps sticking and may have just taken its toll. Who knows. Jenkin and I are both sore as hell lol, he blames old age, and me, just not good to do. Will be nice to have a car to drive that gets better than 14mpg.
