I've been asking locally and the responses are 50-50 on whether I should replace my clutch or not. My clutch disc has less than 500 miles and only two drift events. I had to remove my clutch to put the engine on the stand and saw this upon removing it:
Now, the people arguing that it's no big deal say that since it's just a small piece that really doesn't affect the grab of the disc. Not pictured, but there's also another thin spot that shows wear and will possibly go soon. Most people of this opinion say that the missing pieces should not leave the big pieces open to chip away.
Then there are the ones who mention just replacing the whole disc altogether. They claim that it will likely go bad very soon (although there were no signs of failure as I was driving it).
Anyone here has any experience with this? Your thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated. If it's really that serious, then obviously I would hold off on putting the car back together, which will end up in a week delay before I get another disc while everything else is ready to go back in.
