Smoked. You need a heavier duty clutch.

Holy hell that's SUPER SMOKED. You doing burnouts with your clutch rather than your tires?

Yeah I just Ordered a two piece handles update hundred horsepower

So common, mine looks so similar.

So there's literally no material left on that clutch disk. How many miles? What kind of power are you outputting and how is the car used?

 

[cop on my back]

It is not a wear issue. This happens on a high RPM shift, 7000+ with the shitty Ford OEM clutch. As soon as you push in the clutch and the friction disc is floating, the centrifugal force pulls all the material off. Quite common. Mine was bone stock 2015 with around 14000 miles on it.

Absolutely no clutch abuse, just a bad quality part (made in Turkey).

Yep, lost my clutch yesterday at Laguna. Second time. First time was exactly 1 year ago, also at Laguna
high rpm’s shifting
Ford paid for last one but this time I’m going to have to foot the bill if I want a better clutch

I rest my case lol. The shits when it happens on a track, happened to me on the first lap at Pacific Raceways in Washington.

Man, what the hell happened? There's absolutely ZERO friction material there, since you can see the rivets, and it's just metal... and thin one at that, and only attached at 2 points per 'piece'. Looks so shitty. Is this the new D4 clutch, or the previous one? At any rate, the friction material is flying off due to centrifugal forces at 7K+ rpm??? That's hard to believe. Geez. Hopefully my D4 clutch is better than that. Is that the case gang? Thx.

Rest ur case based on what ? What's posted above ? Compared to the 10's of thousands of factory clutches that live a long happy life. Good thing you ain't a defence lawyer.

Is “defence “ a new category of lawyers or geographical difference in spelling? Lol
You seems to be missing the part about repeated high rpm’s shifting..
It’s a bit like the rear differential...ok for street/light to moderate duty but not up to the task of Track usage

So repeated high rpm shifting for 30 mins or so per session, over the course of a race season. Well now, my bad for a clutch produced for the average driver has some failure in a unforgiving racing environment, while others in the same environment have no issues.

D4 clutch is twin organic disc and much beefier.
