It disintegrating in the first 200 miles. If this is on you're blown car I strongly advise you no . A JB lightweight flywheel caused so much vibration in my Z4M , that an OEM Sachs clutch backing plate broke apart on the street . The crank was vibrating enough to cause my belts to slip off the pulleys . This all happened within 400 miles of street driving , and failure of the clutch occurred on the first redline shift after break in.
Was your clutch sprung hub?
Yes it was the high frequency vibration from the flywheel that caused all the chaos, and yes it was a Sachs HD sprung hub clutch . They have never seen a failure like mine on that clutch ( it's OEM ) .
