I'm such a frugal one... was just curious as to what all was damaged beyond re-use in your situation. The clips? The clutch disk? The pressure plate/disk? I guess what I'm wondering is if it's repairable at all by replacing any damaged component(s).
The clips shouldn't have let go... leads me to think they weren't tight from the beginning. If you bought it that way, I'd take it up with the vendor.
Customer satisfaction?
