Not sure why this happened but today I removed the TOB and it was locked up. It took a vise and a 36" pipe wrench for me to move it. Ive never seen that happen before.

@Rawger
Everything felt normal, maybe a little input shaft rattle.

@silverevo05
Still using the stock clutch line with restrictor pill.

Yes I had the pill removed and an upgraded line installed.

Holy smokes that looks pretty bad, I guess I'm afraid of this or something else going out which is why I have yet to launch my evo

This does support the theory that the stock clutch is not as bad as everyone thinks it is, as long as you don't expose it to a lot of heat in a very small amount of time.

Worked hard and put away wet! As Butt stated they will live if you do not slide them out excessively and allow them to cool thoroughly between launches.
