Wonder if that's one of the early clutches Mike before they got uprated?The clutch has eaten itself , Marios rang me earlier tonight saying that he had never seen anything like it , he is going to replace the flywheel , clutch , release bearing , main shaft bearing and s/bearing .View attachment 51962
I think it must be , got 44K on the clock and no mention of a clutch swap in the paperwork ??Wonder if that's one of the early clutches Mike before they got uprated?
Good idea Conaero , thanks .Insist your clutch comes from a main dealer and not old stock such as Eurospares.
Yea Geo , it had been shrieking like mad when I got it then went quiet , that’s about the time it seized then proceeded to munch the clutch just hope the gearbox is ok .Ouch, that's a real mess! It looks like the thrust race has seized solid.
I sincerely hope not rockits , luckily I didn’t drive it far in that condition and I was almost stationary when it let go .When these tangs go will it ever do any damage to gearbox or anything else? Just interesting to know if proactively replacing the clutch before failure has any merits?

Agree, they are almost separate entities. It's not as if the clutch drive seized solid.Unless you heard any horrible crunching noises from the box before or after the catastrophic failure, the box should be just fine. There may be a bit of superficial marking inside the clutch housing if a tan was thrown out of the spinning clutch.
