*Update* on clutch failure....

Ok i was able to inspect inside my bell housing and was disappointed in what i saw. Alot worse then i thought. Ok for starters i got the ACT clutch kit. It has gone through several very low 60ft drag times and some autocross action. It used to chatter alot and made alot of release bearing rattle. Ok now for the damage. 3/4 of the diaphragm broke off. Some of the pieces wedged between the pressure plate housing and the bell housing case. Thats what stalled the motor. They must of came loose and fell to the bottom of the case because it restarted fine and i was able to get it back into my garage. It destroyed my release bearing and my release fork. The friction disc is also tore up. I wont know if the transmission is damaged and the flywheel till i remove the transmission on sat. Sad day for the beast.

sh!tty deal man, but as with all things, it's not the end of the world, if it can't be repaired it can be replaced good luck, and my condolences.

hope your tranny is ok
