I have been having all sorts of clutch problems lately and I just can not figure out what's going on. The springs in the RPS 6-puck disc I had awhile ago broke (for unknown reasons) and took out my rps pressure plate, aluminum flywheel, and my 4th syncro in my tranny... so I bought a new stock flywheel, rps pressure plate, and AZ disc, and after 2 weeks those were all destroyed as well. There's a huge groove in both the flywheel and pressure plate from the pucks on the disc, and the disc itself is worn down to the rivots. I was still breaking in my clutch when it broke; I wasn't even racing with it or anything. My only guess is that the clutch was not engaging fully, allowing the disc to slip like mad, and it just ate itself up. I can't figure out why though. Strangely I did not feel it slipping AT ALL until the day before it died. From what it sounds like.. there really is no adjustment on the clutch, except by the pedal. But as I understand it, if that was out of adjustment the clutch would not DISENGAGE, exactly opposite of what seems to be happening. So I don't know what to do.. my 6spd has turned out to be a nightmere; I would do anything to have an auto right now. I took some pretty good pics of the clutch if anyone is curious or wants to try and help me figure out what is going on. Those are at: http://64.225.101.133/clutch.htm
