Quick, look at this clutch is it still good?

I can get this clutch for a great deal locally, he says it has 7k miles.

Does it look usable for awhile?

I don't see any hot spots on the pp so I would say it's fine to use.

 

[darknezz7]

Thats kinda what I was thinking, really we just need the pressure plate, can always get another disk.

I just don't know on ceramic how far is worn, looks close to to the rivets to me but maybe it doesn't wear much ever.

There isn't much thickness past the rivets to begin with. The color of the pucks has me thinking it's been used hard. Lay a straight edge across the pp surface and see how "coned" it is.

 

[darknezz7]

Are not most of these cars used hard .

Ok I have a machinist edge I will do that.

Take a digital caliper (on the depth indicator) and mesure height of the pad with the new one to compare. It does seem as it has been used hard on the PP side, looks a little worn vs the edges. If you feel (with your hand) divots and creases varying in depth on it I wouldn't use it as the contact surface is compromised. Also check straightness of the PP to see if it's perpendicular, if not don't use it.

Looks fine to me. I'd run it.

The pressure plate looks good. I've definitely pulled way worse out of my own cars.

The lighting in that picture sucks, so it's hard to tell if there is discoloration on the disc pucks.

The other thing to check for is loose springs in the clutch disc. If they are rattling around, the disc is trash. You obviously can't check this from pictures, but before you hand over any cash, check that out.

Doesn't look too bad for a while but then you may replace it sooner than you think but a lot of it comes down to you measure it and get some specs and let us know.

The only real problem is how that clutch is going to mate to your flywheel. The flywheel in your car now is worn by your clutch in a unique way.
