Needs yalls decision if I should replace the clutch disc

[newdude1]

K well my oil pan was leaking into the transmission and Im hoping that I didnt f***ed up the clutch with this happening. Its a brand new stage 3 competition ceramic clutch. To me it looks worn down a hell lot.

[newdude1]

sorry for the crappy pictures. My camera has a hard time focusing up close. But on the competition site http://www.competitionclutch.c...d=900its the 1620 Ceramic Six Puck Sprung 1620 Series Disc, In their picture I cant really tell how thick its suppose to be. So if some one has one they can look at or know please let me know asap. Thanks.

oil wont do anything to it... wipe it off and go

[newdude1]

I mean it looks kinda thin. Is that normal for ceramic clutches?

[tramp_drift240]

well. what did it look like when you installed it.

[keith0486]

i really dont think oil woudl wear the clutch down if it is worn down its form you not the oil.

[newdude1]

Thats the thing I didnt install it. it has less then 1000 miles. So Im asking if anyone knows if its normally that thin.

What does the flywheel and pressure plate look like? They will tell the true abuse of the clutch disc.

1000 miles is not a problem,

bring it to a clutch shop and ask them what they think.

your pictures aren't too revealing, but you're fine bro

[newdude1]

K I compared it to another disc exactly the same and its the same thickness. But Also is it possible for ceramic clutches to get glazed over? They kinda look like its glazed a little bit.

ceramic has a ridiculously high temperature resistanceand oil wont mess up a ceramic clutch because ceramic wont absorb the oil. just wipe it off and throw it back in.

you sure thats a stage 4? cuz mine has better spring blocks/guards.but either way mine had a bit more beef on it but that should be fine as its ceramic and not organic material

you shouldn't have to worry about it getting glazed over.

[newdude1]

Yup its a competition stage 4. See this is what Im talking about when I mention the glazing.

[E7-S14]

i don't think after constant contact with both the pressure plate and the flywheel that the ceramic material would keep its true color.

take light sand paper to it if your that paranoid.

Damn man, that is nice and thick. You are fine. Hit it with some brake parts cleaner (not sandpaper) and go.

[ivorywhite240sx]

I thinking...slap it on and go

Glazing usually means you rest your foot on the clutch pedal.

Glazing usually means you rest your foot on the clutch pedal.

or if you don't break in your clutch.but for ceramic clutches theirs really no need for break-ins.
