No,i didnt replace the throw out bearing.It was the clutch disc that was squeeling.My act didnt come with a new throw out bearing,so i just replaced the clutch and pressure plate.

maybe a defect in the metal? Idk how the hell that would happen? I dont think it would be from to much power since they probably test there products then mass produce them. Im thinking a defect of some sort

i cant believe he could do that and not have something in the trans snap, or break a cv shaft, or something like that..... it doesnt seem like the flywheel would be the weakest link. he says he has a 2.4 running 11psi with a spec stage 3... i guess the flywheel must have already been crap and the wheels suddenly grabbed or something... putting huge strain on the drivetrain.

I remember when major misshifted and ended up sheering the flywheel bolts off

Not to bring this thread back or anything, but the SAME GD thing happend to my tranny three days ago. At first I thought I just blew my sync's some how.. then after a performance shop took the tranny apart, I got a phone call, with them saying where in the F*** did you buy this piece of crap from? I was like.. dude that thing costed me $500.00 what are you talking about, then he told me how the center ripped away from the rest. I think the company is replacing it, I also had RSM's High Performance clutch(Spec stage 3), if you need to look at my profile you can. There is no way in hell even with my set-up I'm running this Should've EVER happend. If I knew how to post pictures I would -.- The same exact problem. Now its costing me 1800$ for the tranny rebuild (lucky the shop and I have a great working realtionship -.-) plus whatever SPEC does with there clutch plate and flywheel. At least my clutch disk is good still =\

That has to be a manufacturing or design problem.
