Message	Went a total of 1200 miles on the clutch and 12-15 passes down the strip mainly 8th mile passes. This was a DXD southbend. Clutch grabbed really well wile it lasted but guess it just wasn't up to the job of racing. Its not like I slipped the hell out of it, it never burned or slipped or smelled ect. Just did a burn out the other night at the track, 1rst to 2nd gear like normal and that was it. Clutch still didnt slip when doing the burn out and smoke came from the tires like normal. I went to stage the car and she stalled. Went to start it back up and she fired right back up but wouldn't go into any gear. Turned the car off shifted the trans into 2nd gear and started it back up to make it move from the staging lanes. Felt like the car had no clutch, now I know why. Ended up having to almost pry the clutch from the flywheel. As you can see the material pretty much melted to the flywheel. Guess I need a new one of those as well :-( 1990 Acura Integra (Daily driver/Gas saver) 1994 Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo (Weekend car) www.SVZA.NET
