Default jacked up clutch.. wat to do (pics)

so i ordered a clutch set new. had it overnighted and i got sent the wrong type of clutch. i needed for a 91 integra. they gave me 92+. so the people were cool about it and overnighted the right one same day.. it got here 2 days later. and it came fucked up.. now im worried about even puttin this type in my car. its an xtd which is supposibly made by act but i dunno..


the first one looked good but this one just looks like it wasnt made right.

my question. should i call them up on monday and have another one sent back or should i just get my refund on the whole deal and buy a an act or exedy

this is supposed to be good to 259 ft/lbs. but i dunno if its just a flaw in this one or is the replacement gonna be just as cheap



this is the first one. everytying looked fine on it




side by side of the next one i got.. see whats wrong with the one on the right??



i started looking at it some more and it looked like it was warped and the plates in the middle are seperated



bad one on the right still



other end of the bad one. see how the middle of the plates just doesnt look right


reverse side of the messed up one



opinions please

how much of this damage can be from shipping. and how much from design defect? should i trust getting another one of these

you're talking about it being warped? I see a huge CHUNK missing from it. I'd definitely complain about that the most.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

Obviously you took pictures but if it does become a issue as in they blame it on you, send them the pictures along with the clutch.

I personally wouldnt buy again from them, they already fucked up twice. Theres a million other companys out there that sell clutchs just get a diffrent one.
