Destroyed clutch (literally).... need new clutch options..
I went to the track tonight to test out my new WC 5spd (swapped from auto) and ended up destorying my clutch. I was racing some weedwacker and was about to pull third when I heard this PoP! and I couldn't get it into any gear, so I coasted back to the pit area to see what was wrong. I had lost all my clutch pedal pressure and when I started it and tried to put it in gear it would make this swooshing sound like the clutch was slightly engaged.
I managed to get pedal pressure back by pumping it a few times, but it still wouldn't completely dissengage. I managed to limp home and park her, but I'll have to wait till tommorrow to find out actual damage. I think I broke the rivits on the clutch disk and now I have two (At least that's what it sounds like, my friend had the same thing happen on his autozone clutch).
I need some suggestions on a new clutch set, I've heard that McLeod was the best, but pricey and CF D/F has throughout bearing problems. I might be going with a set of street slicks, considering my new tracksion problem with the 5spd and need something that will take occational racing abuse.
BTW: How much do the McLeod Clutch's run ? I tried there website, but it's under cons.

Call McLeod and ask for the number of a local dealer, or get the clutch straight from them. They should be around or less than $300.
