ClutchNet disc, Time to replace
When I pulled the motor and trans again (6speed going in finally), I stripped off the clutch and flywheel to throw the motor on the stand and I shouldn't really say I was surprised but my clutch net disc (6 puck sprung) is done.
I doubt I have 10k km on it, 2 summers of driving, maybe half a dozen track days.
Is this wear excessive?
Should I replace it with another of the same?
No significant hot spots on the flywheel or anything so it doesn't look like I abused it that much.

Red, I think thats there strongest pp and the disc, IIRC it was supposed to hold 400ft/lbs or maybe it was 300...Something like that.
Lol and yes go 6 speed indeed, no more swapping trannies 3 times a week haha, and time to put down some real power

Pics:
Rivets are basiclly flush with the friction pads. Wear looks pretty normal I'm thinking..

Like I said, flywheel looks really good, no hot spots or excessive wear patterns.

Do you have a local clutch shop? You can save yourself some dough and get new friction pads installed. IMO that's a very well constructed street disc- more robust that anything I found as far as the hub structure. I paid my local clutch shop just over $50 to add new material to a four puck disc.
Any idea what friction material was on it new? Did it look like this?
That is the copper ceramic friction material- and rated at 400ftlbs with the sprung hub. The next step down was carbon fiber rated at 300ftlbs. If your disc has copper ceramic, it shouldn't wear like that if truly unabused. That looks like a slipping disc to me. Odd the flywheel doesn't show it.
I bet DC would break a torsen within a week of install.

Who said my clutch WASN'T abused?
I beat the **** out of my car on a regular basis, ie) downshifting on the highway and laying rubber @ 100kph lolI just thought it might last alittle longer at that abuse level.
I probably can get the pads replaced locally, great idea M2.
Ya, the flywheel has alittle bit of heat marking but nothing significant (Ya I'll get a pic before anyone asks)
As for the Torsen...lol
Braineack: Werd on the pad depth, might aswell replace them now that its out though, thanks for the pics.
