Default more clutch questions :P

removed my gearbox and clutch today as my clutch has been slipping

however my ap organic clutch plate seemed ok my flywheel seems ok but my cover plate has blue heat spots on it like you get on badly warped breaks.

anyone knoe how this could of happened i dont want to fit a new clutch and box and do it again

im also wondering if i can refit the old plate as it looks new loads of meat on it with a new cover and release bearing

cheers

Never relly gavce it any did i so never tested the clutch lol!

I didnt think it wa sanythin special in there i did tell u that! will b interestin to c what meat is left ton it thoguh!

Best of waitin if u cant afford it! do it once right! not 3 times like the fezzy!

Get the fly wheel done & a full 6 paddle setup!

That what I am gunna do! but then i got a lil more time than u!

So gotta decide on a shell soon! I'm just spendin all the money on beer!
