Default JWT Clutch/Flywheel package.......destroyed

Been on the car for 6000 miles, car running 410bhp/390 lb/ft of torque.
Clips of the cover have come away and have been rattling round the bell housing.

Sorry, I cant host pictures on this works computer, but the thread is located here on a UK board if you want to see the pictures.


Im gutted!

What's the likely reason for failure?

Cant view those pics. Those power numbers are WELL within the clutch's ability, maybe a defective unit? Bad install? Im not 100% sure as to what your problem is or how it would happen.

Sorry, I cant access any image hosting sites, due to websense on my works pc, and i wont be home for another 4 weeks (offshore).

Basically, the retaining/alignment clips have snapped off and are rattling round the bellhousing. Clutch material is scored to hell as well.

What do I go for next??

Currently rebuilding for approx 550 HP.

Was hoping for something a bit cheaper to be honest. Im already a bit over budget on the rebuild, but am open to suggestions.
Not everyone is running ATS on built engines, what are peoples opinions on other brands?
