FUBARED something in the clutch (now with PICS)

broken plate straps, only way they happens is with crappy down shifting

Or manf. Defect... don't immediately jump on the guys driving.

all back together and hauling ass again. The stage 2 clutch is definitely stickier than a regular clutch!

I have the FX100. It's much grabbier than before but it got better with miles. When I first installed it the car would shake strongly easing into reverse. Slipping the clutch to get up a hill... forget it!

Now it's closer to the behavior of a stock clutch but still grabbier. Be glad you don't have a 6-puck!

yep, either broken straps or rivits/bolts on the PP. can't tell exactly from the pic. A few different things could have cause this, either dropping the clutch while trying to launch the car or a really hard upshift/downshift. An unsprung metalic clutch disc (pucked Clutch) will also make a failure happen quicker because there is less 'cushion' to absorb the initial drivetrain shock... something to keep in mind.

If the rivits broke you can just replace them with grade 8 hardware, but if the straps broke you'll need to get new straps.

When looking for a durable clutch setup one of the things to focus on is PP construction. I always prefer bolts over rivits and at least 3 straps to tie the friction plate of the PP to the diaphram.

How is the clutch holding up?

This sounds similar to the trouble I've been having:
