Hi everyone--
I got a lot of burn marks on both the plate of the clutch and the flywheel. The clutch is Competition Clutch Stage 2. The flywheel is stock; resurfaced when clutch was installed. I had the clutch less than a year and put less than 10K on it. I drove it pretty easy, and did not abuse it. Not sure what caused it. I'm getting the engine rebuilt, that's why I saw my clutch out. So my questions? Do I have them just put the clutch back in? Will those burn marks hurt anything? Should I order a new plate from Competition Clutch and get new flywheel? btw does getting a new plate fix the clutch? Thank you

OMG here you all go again on the stage bandwagon. Yes i know thats how manufacturers identify their stuff. i just hate the term stage.
there is no standard for stage. company A has a stage 2 clutch which is the same holding power of company B stage 3 or 4. see what i mean. now if stage 2 was stage 2 for all the manufacturers, then ill be ok with it. no on to your problem. you can mix and match components, that not a problem. and most of the clutches power is from the pressure plate and its clamping force. you could get away with the OEM pressure plate and the aftermarket disk. that should give you a soft pedal feel but good grip. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
