So I decided to have a look at my clutch after rebuilding the T5. And what I found was somewhat concerning.

The bolts on the flywheel had notches sliced into them from the clutch disk spring catches. And not only that the flywheel surface, PP surface and disk has a noticeable line running in the center of it.

Could anyone share any knowledge as to how this could have happened and should I be concerned with replacing my entire clutch set up. This clutch was put in at least 10 years ago and wasn't really abused and drove mostly on the weekends. And im pretty sure these are the stock bolts for the flywheel?




As you can see the metal is shiny due to the rubbing.







As you can see there is a significant wear line in the center of the disk and on the PP as well.

 

Yup. You have to shave the lip down on the flywheel bolts. See my post here:
