Hi Folks. I just finished up my first ever car clutch job. Every thing seems to be working right the car drives. I haven't really got on it because of break in issues. My question is this though: I've pulled clutches out of big desiels before and I kknow what those look like. but this is the first small clutch I've pulled. I thought that it was close to dieing from driving it (was shifting very hard, and you could smell it at high RPM's) but I din't really know. So can you guys tell me if this is normal wear, high wear, low wear and I should have left it alone. To me it looks like it saw some heat and was close to failing, but as I said, this is the first car clutch I've pulled.
It was a stock clutch, 38,000 miles, driven pretty hard, engine makes 472 at the wheels (pulley, tune exhaust intake).
