doesnt look bad to me, it got a little scored on the inside of the fingers from the disk being dislodged and hitting it but other than that the surface of the pp looks fine, hell mine looks worse and it still holds up perfectly, cant go wrong, Id say get a new disk and be done with it

So true, my last one failed when I was just pulling up to a stoplight, waited, shifted to first, started to pull away (not) - nothing there left at all. Had to get it towed home.

When the trans was pulled, all the material had just dusted and fallen off the plate - here's how it looked 8k earlier, I think just age, heat, etc. killed it. DC wasn't hard on clutches, 50% of my use with it was highway. Centerforce IIRC -

Now I have a Stage 2 JWT/B15 OEM setup from Greg V, like that a lot for NA power levels, but guessing it would not hold up to the kind of numbers you're putting down.
