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?

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

The fucking engine is out.
GEt an aluminum flywheel. It will be easy to do with the clutch and you wont' have to worry about it again. It will be one more thing down
Car will get into the powerband faster, rev faster, and make a bit more hp too.
It might be a tough sell, just hold out on sex for a week or so. she will cave eventually and let you have the flywheel.
