Was it installed correctly? Anything wrong with the pressure plate or FW?
TOB and disc springs should never be anywhere near each other.   
WTH happened? |
I couldn't identify the brand - the pressure plate was blue, no markings. I believe it was installed correctly. Pressure plate and flywheel looked good - smooth and no discoloring due to excessive heat.
The springs were loose in the bell housing. They had all come loose when the clutch disk broke and were just rattling around the rotating assembly. I told they guy that he is very lucky he didn't damage the bell housing or anything else.
I think that he was launching the car when this happened. He had just bought it and was unfamiliar with it - claims that he 'missed a shift into second' and was driving 'aggressively'.
