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).

to me they look to be wore out to me but my pp and fw were scorched WAY more then your pics but your clutch looks to have way more wear on it then mine. i changed mine at 50k

how much of the clutch surface was left before the studs evened out?
