Hi clutch gurus!!
I was wondering if you could take a look at my clutch / flywheel / throw bearing and tell me if it requires replacing? The clutch plate looks like its still got a lot of meat left on it (I am no expert), and the flywheel seems pretty smooth although it does have some markings on it. The throw bearing its self was noisy before it removed the clutch, at one stage I couldn't even get it into gear unless the engine was off.
A little back ground info also; I have only had the car around 1200 km's and I am not sure when the clutch was replaced, the previous owner did say he changed it "recently". I have done one burn out in it (fairly decent one). The next time I tried to do one it wouldn't even spin the wheels. I am not sure if the throw bearing was noisy prior to these burn outs.
Is the clutch / flywheel salvageable and just change the throw bearing, or is she kaput and spend the cash now?
