A while back I was driving my 93 Daytona Iroc R/T to work one morning got on it as I was starting up a hill and BOOM no more clutch.I pulled it apart the other night and this is what I found,4 puck ceramic disc had actually broke or exploded.I don't drag race it or run huge boost,just 12 pounds of boost.Any ideas on why this would happen?

You would think that but its supposed to be a rev lok ceramic 4 puck from the past owners reciepts and it is stamped MADE IN USA right on it.

I don't know man....I've bought name brand parts before and had them be bad from new. sometimes you just get a bad part.

Do you do a bunch of big time downshifting?

Not to much but that makes me wonder if it isn't caused by an earlier problem I had?Just before the turbo seal let go last year the car would start to boost up and get to about 8-9 pounds and would just dump off.I did decide against running another ceramic disc and went back to a stock style clutch which I just got back up in the car and got the trans snugged up to the block,what a real pain in the @$$ that job is by yourself in a garage thats about 20 degrees.It will all be worth it when I can take it out for a nice ride,its the one car I have had that when its down so am I(kinda like a ****** addict:toothy10
