Jacked the car up.... It looks like someone stuck a piece of dinamite in there. The bell housing around the clutch is gone... Cut a slit in the back of my oil pan (leaking). Clutch disk is all cut up. Maybe a bolt on the pressure plate came off and blew through the bell housing??. Pressure plate is mangled.
Looking at least 750 bucks in parts. I figure 1500 dollars in labor and parts..... If i just had my fucking garage i could drop the tranny clutch and oil pan in a few days. But then theres the problem of not being an expert in diagnosing what exactly happened and if it damaged the tranny fly wheel or bent the crank on the engine.
I want a pro to tell me what he thinks happened in there so i know if STAR has shitty clutches or it was an install error. Well i video taped it and ill send STAR the tape with whats left of the assembly if its determined that the clutch was faulty.
Well at least i got My chrome SS rims tires and Hood ready to go on once this shit is fixed.

Dude dont worry about it.. Not your fault or worries. FHP at least sent us out one of the trucks with the hazard flashers on it... but the tow truck never came after 3 calls... well at least they said they called 3 times...??
Yeah im going to stick a LT4 clutch in or something... That clutch is used in 330hp cars... so thats not rated high enough for my application but these damn aftermarket clutches scare me now.
