Carnage pics from clutch blowing up

[Josh79]

Here are some pics of what is left after i blew the clutch out of my 95 a few months ago. Just got around to fixing it

all the pieces that i took off. there was quite a bit on the road lol

what was left of the bellhousing. it was actually completely broken off the block. Managed to brake an ear off the block too

flywheel wasnt fixable had to get a new one

clutch plate in 4 pieces. i picked the 4th off the road

what was left of the clutch disc... basically nothing

so this is what happens when god decides ur having too much fun lol

Damn! Glad it didn't decide to come through the floor and take your legs with it! Time for a Lakewood scattershield?

What were you doing with it when it let go?

ya there is actually a dent in the bottom of the tunnel/floorpan where it hit. it was very close.

ya i wish but no i just picked up a used stock one because i have no money. i dnt think my cf df clutch will come apart like that under stockish power...

well i was doin around 5k in 2nd lol. just got a water pump, harmonic balancer and distributor put in. celebratory burnout, got em spinning good and let go of the brake and shortly after a grenade went off. i noticed the bearing retainer was broke. i almost wonder if that broke locked up the tranny and the motor wanted to keep spinning so boom. its hard to tell because everything is ****ed pretty much lol. the trans was already needing a rebuild. 2nd n 3rd would grind n it didnt want to downshift to 2nd etc. i actually had the clutch and tranny already just waiting for a good time to put them in. figured id do it when i wasnt driving it. then this happened

If you can't afford a scattersheild, you can weld or bolt a 5" wide metal plate (1/8"-"1/4 thick) around the top of the trans tunnel on the same plane as the clutch assy. Would give a little extra protection for if this ever happens again.
