Looks fine, took mine off a few times looks ok.

Mines looked worse then that and I only put 3400k miles on it. My disc is getting fried from slipping due to the fork engaging the tob on high revs.
Yours look okay. What's the milage on it???

 

[wranglerunner22]

About 20k I think? Has been abused.

Woops. Lost my dam post... haha wow

Yeah, it's fine. The discoloration is from the surface heating up, completely normal. As long as there aren't any fine stress cracks then it's good to go back on the car.

mines got 14 thousand miles i bang on mine, throw it back on and have fun.

It appears to be fine. Put a straight edge or a long ruler on it to check if it is warped. As a clutch pressure plate wears, it warps inwards towards the center. Since it has been abused, check for cracks too.

That looks fine. Ive seen some so much worse off than that.

Take it to a machine shop have them test it for straightness and micro cracks. Then have them resurface (or "turn") the mating surface.

I would defintely recommend against resurfacing the face of the pressure plate. It will alter the geometry and you will lose holding capacity of the clutch. It's the same reason why you never resurface the flywheel without taking the same amount of material off of the "feet". If the pressure plate is trashed, replace it.

BTW, the one in the picture looks just fine.

Thanks paul mine was off i wasnt sure but i ran mine looking like that, no problems.

 

[99gst_racer]

The one on my car right now was used when I bought it. It looked worse than the one in the picture and it didn't have any problems holding 550 ft/lbs of torque.

Evenly distrubuted heat marks are OK. Heavy warpage and/or any cracking at all is not acceptable.

Thats good to know i wasnt, ill be sticking with my clutch set up for some time now, dont see need to change.
