Yo man , change that **** ASAP. Dont do what I did and wait and ended up screwing my whole engine head up. Just trust me . IT HAPPENED TO ME. DO IT OR BE SORRY

 

thanks for all of your input.
So, I had the clutch replaced. My mechanic showed me the old clutch. SOMEHOW ?? the pressure plate craked into 3 peices? Who knows. My mechanic said it could have been heat.
Additionally, there was a slow oil leak before (like 1/2 a qt every 3000 miles) Turns out that it was leaking on the timing belt. Either way, I had the timing belt done as well.
The check engine light was on, so the guy replaced my 02 sensor (ugh)

so, for a brand new clutch, new timing belt and all new gaskets, etc, the 02 sensor and labor it came to 2000 bucks! Ouch.
does that seem like a pretty fair price?
BTW, the new clutch is like a dream!!

 

yeh seems about right to me, dunno what some of the guys here that work at the shops think tho

 

Anyone have an idea how the hell that plate could've cracked?!?
