never heard of that happening before, ive had some pretty rough clutches, 2700lb pressure plates and such and never had a problem. maybe just bad luck.

Happens with getrags and especially the isuzu trans in fieros. Just weak/crappy design. Yours just may have not been able to handle all the extra clamping force.

But to tell you, it can and does happen.

kind of common. Replace it with a new one, then reinforce it. Also check your clutch system hydrolics.

And to be honest, it was a bad seal; and he replaced it with a O.E. part. It's fine. All the ones that were bad were giving 100% refunds, or replaced with the newer version.

(Sorry for the rant, I'm just tired of people bad mouthing a company that is fairly new and had a couple of misshaps. )
