Its taken you how long to take it apart to find out

Thats a proper full on failure I would say that you were wringing the neck out of the RS2k and doing full throttle gear changes on track trying to keep up with that White RST that over took you and was comfortably pulling away at each corner

Get an AP organic one in there ......... proper job ooooaarrr

I was only teasing hehehe

I was fairly surprised that only one side has ripped apart thou... nothing looks melted or over heats, the presure plate is fine as is the flywheel...
