Basically ive fucked two Alcon six paddles in the space of a year. The first one wasnt right from the start and Xfactor replaced it when it gave up The second one seemed fine for a bit but then gave up. They both failed in the same way. The springs basically came out and held the finger plates out on the cover . Is it just a case of there shite clutchs or is there something wrong with my car making them do this?? I had the flywheel skimmed both times not that i can see that causing any problems.

I jsut dont wanna keep getting tha same problem if i can prevent it.Can anyone think of what could cause it??

here is a pic of the first clutch i fucked

Thats what i dont understand. There is loads of turbo cars with shite loads more torque than my NA and they seem fine. I do do quite a few miles though and alot in traffic so starting and stopping alot . dunno if that puts more stress on it as its really a racing clutch??

I do drive the car hard when i get the chance but thats why i went for a fookin expensive clutch that should handle way more power than i have.

Maybe the clutch is too strong for the type of driving you do? I cant imagine stop starting alot is very good on a racing clutch, would put it under alot of stresses it wasnt designed for i'd have thought.

dunno maybe. Ive gone for a fast road organic this time so hopefully that will last longer.

i have the same problem in my williams clio, clutches dont last very long at all, always the friction plate that goes too, springs snapping etc. ive had athe flywheel skimmed, then another flywheel fitted, numerous clutches and its always the same

Yea its a right pain. Ive spoken to loads of mechanic friends and no one can tell me why its happening. Im putting a std a flywheel in this time aswell instead of my lightened one , not that i can see a flywheel causing my problems.
