With those issues, plus 180,000ish miles I figured I might as well rebuild it since I am in the perfect position to do so. I am glad I made the decision to do this for many reasons. Some I will keep somewhat a secret until I get to them for...fun? Whatever you wanna' call it.
Here is one huge reason I am glad I pulled everything out...it really speaks for itself.
Yeah... I really haven't determined what did this. I kind of suspect the pressure plate may have been the wrong one. This is only because is seems to have almost a machined finish to it around the outer edge. Or possibly someone put the wrong pressure plate in, realized it after and just ground down the outer edge rather than replace it.
Either way, there's two holes in the case and a .3-.600" grove all the way around the inside. This is probably something some time with a tig could fix but time will tell. I have a transmission out of a 90,xxxx mile Spyder GS-T I'll put in just for time and money sake.
Hopefully next week I can get some picture of the block and everything since I have it all torn down.
Thanks for reading and make sure to check back!
