I dropped the clutch disc last night and it kinda chipped a little causing like a bubble affect on the end of the clutch should I be worried I just use the last of my money..

Any feedback before I put this on tomorrow?

Its not as bad as the pics makes it look plus its a bad pic.

Wow that's a real bad pics the pics makes it look worst than it is. Btw the clutch isnt broke off there thats just were it hit but it all intact.

Try taking another picture. This time put your camera on macro mode (look for the little flower symbol and make it appear) and make sure it focuses on the target, not the background/foreground. Or put the disc further back so that the camera focuses correctly and then crop out only the disc so we can see it clearly.
 
I wouldnt be worried, just make sure the surface is flat, and that it didnt do any major damage like cracks or the clutch material falling off..
 
And put something behind the clutch so we can see the outline very well. White paper, cement, I dunno... a blue tarp, if you happen to have one lying around. ;)
 
I can't get another pic my bro put the clutch in for me last night.

Say that whole part chips away will it deteriorate the rest of it?
 
i think your good man. I did the same to mine and it is good
 
I hope so because I have massive bruising on my arm from putting that tranny in myself yesterday and I don't want to pull it back out.
 
I dint lock tite my pp bolts is that ok?
 
As long as they're stock bolts with the lock washer and they're torqued to spec I wouldn't worry about it. I don't use loctite on mine and they hold up fine.
 
ok...cool...SO how many bolts are on the tranny because it don't seem like my tranny was really bolted in right..when I removed it I only have 2 bolts and a nut and washer..Thats all I took off to pull the tranny does this seem right or am i missing some?
 
I counted 4..By front motor mount two on top and one by starter.
