Unbelivable blown clutch PICS INSIDE

long story short, i just replaced my clutch, but what they took OUT of the car is whats amazing, here is what the mechanic at the "transworld auto" in orlando florida did (he lied to me and said he put in a brand new clutch before i bought the car)

the flywheel was resurfaced (like rotors), it had broken metal tabs but he decided to use bolts to hold it in, pieces of the flywheel were flying around inside the clutch breaking it, the disc turned BLUE because of the abuse, the bearing is burned and broken in 2 pieces. here are the pics, look and see for your self.

u gotta see it in person, those metal screws are out over the actual material, so when it spins it just scratchs anything it touches

This is nothing compared to what we see on a month to month basis at our dealership. Some of the clutches we see from Porsches and Audis will absolutley blow your mind at how they were even driving. I will try and nab some pics.

The clutch looks new.

The throwout bearing looks like it may have failed.

The clutch disc looks barely used.
