My clutch went out on Wed. Got it trailered home yesterday and this is what I found.

Clutch parts

Anybody else have a clutch come apart like this?

never had it happen, I'd say it was defective from new, maybe another Chinese mistake

I'm thinking on the same lines as red58. I wouldn't think a 235 would have what it takes to tear a clutch up like that. The clutch lining and pressure plate still look to be in good condition.

How chewed up are the bolts that hold the flywheel on? Maybe had the wrong bolts installed that hold the flywheel on and they caused the disc to hit them?

Don makes a good point those bolts need to be factory, nothing else really works as they have a very thin head. They should also be replaced if you remove the flywheel for any reason, cheap insurance against stretched or galled threads.

The flywheel bolts looked correct when I put the new clutch in tonight. That clutch was installed back in 1991, ran until 1995, parked until this year and ran daily for the last month.
