I think i may have popped my springs out of my clutch disk. Could anyone explain what will happen. When i go from off the gas to on it, the car free revs like 300 rpm and then theres a loud bang. It will catch and then its perfect, I could floor it to 7k without any issues. It will also happen when I pull out very easy on the gas (the car will buck like crazy and the motor will free rev then catch and keep doing it). It will also doing it when im pulling out unless I slip the clutch and let it out really slow, then it wont make the bang. Hope you guys understand the issue and can help me out.
 
Time to get a new clutch bro no way around that, go unsprung next time! Any lose material flying around in the clutch area is causeing damage to the flywheel, clutch disc and pressure plate. It's messing up your engagement and could do further damage to throw out bearing and possible input shaft! I would quit driving and fix the issue before it get worse. If the clutch setup is new you could get lucky and save everything in time. Then send the disc back to the maker and have them swap a unsprung center on and you will be good to go! That's what I did with my last spec clutch after 3 of the 6 springs popped out after only about 1200 or so miles and 1 day of racing and launching on it.

I am not sure that is the actual issue. It just seems logical because of how the disk would act without springs. I was hoping to get some feedback on if this is how it would act. I am not sure if it is transmission related or not.
