Hi. I recently won an auction on ebay for a stage 3 competition clutch kit. I just recieved the item today in the mail. I have somes concerns that this clutch may have been used although it was in a sealed package. Below is a pic of the clutch disc. Can someone give me their opinion? I cant find a single competition clutch disc that looks like this anywhere online. Thanx.

Possibility of being installed, but the lines are in a radius pattern and not in a pattern consistent with being spun against something. Doesn't look bad if that's what you are asking.
 
doesn't look used to me. but looks kind of wack if you ask me.
mayb it has been sealed for long time. or mayb it just looks like that
but it does not show a sign of disc being spun.
 
That looks nothing like the clutch I bought from SBR mines is ruff. Yours looks like it has been spun and is smooth now. It might just be from the picture. Thats why I don't buy from ebay when it comes to drivetrain and suspension.

Look at what I circled thats what makes it look used!
Can you get another picture?


:dsm:
 
The clutch material is perfectly fine, it has never touched a flywheel or pressure plate. The center section might have rubbed against something, or it's the flash.

Enjoy the install :)
 
Thank you everyone for your help. This will be my first clutch install so hopefully if I use some tech articles available on here Ill be fine.
