Ordered a new spec 2 clutch from ebay. It's brand new and when i opened it it looked like this. With this nick/chip on the disk will it effect the way it functions?

Ok, Jon, for $19 more, you could have purchased it at BOPP AND inspected it, and wouldn't have had to waste money either shipping it back, or filing a shipping insurance claim, which will take 30 days. Are you ever gonna get it?

Just my two cents.

Well I sure wouldn't but then again I pay to have my parts installed so its really not worth it to me. but I dont know if you can or cant , I would hate to be stranded some here because of that and have just wasted all that time and energy and for me money.

I love the "close up" picture of the damage that is focused on the floor! Holy crap. I would certainly not use that clutch. The last thing you need is that damaged spot to get worse and release friction material once everything is installed. Good luck with that.

BOPP price is $339.99 on there web site! So he's gonna have to come down even more! I know maybe you can get me the killer deals you get !! Do you have his ebay name so i can check out his store price's there? I'm not installing it my thoughts were the same as most of you, i was just getting opinions. peace
