"well there's your problem..."

 

WOW?

How about some back story to this one?

 

Ouch...maybe it's time to push in the clutch when you shift. hehe

 

haha the story is i drove the **** outta the car for about 40000 miles. the stock clutch doesnt hold up to the abuse of hard shifting almost every day...its all good now, i got a spec stage 2 clutch in now and its drivin like a dream.

 

that is some crazy looking clutch.

 

What do you mean by "hard shifting"; not using the clutch pedal?

 

Wow, even after 40k miles of abuse (and enough to make it fail completely) it still doesn't look close to worn out.

 

haha i mean keeping the gas pedal floored while shifting. it takes practice, but its super hard on the clutch/tranny. i didnt know at the time cuz i was stupid and new to driving like that, so therefore i ended up with this bad clutch and now a bad tranny haha.

 

Hmmmm......
I just turned over 106,000 miles on the way to AMVIV. Still on the original clutch.
