Well I was racing up a hill in town the other day, not power shifting just driving it hard. In the 1-2 shift I heard something pop and I couldn't disengage the clutch. I limped it home and I started removing the engine.
This is what I found
Looks like I pretty much broke the stock fiero replacement clutch in half. It has about 7000kms on it, I babied it at first. Looks to be lots of clutch material left but it couldn't take the loading the 3.4 was giving it.
Ordered a Spec stage 3 yesterday, it will be nice to have a clutch that you don't have to worry about.

I think it's supposed to do that. No damage to the pressure plate?
Indy DOHC Turbo SD4.....someday.

Fingers on the pressure plate are bent, 4 or 5 of them, badly. The flywheel looks good.

Better not risk it. Get a SPEC aluminum flywheel, too. :thumbleft:
