This is what it is like when a clutch EXPLODES!!

Well the clutch went out on my sister Shantel's Car.  After finding out her clutch went out, and we didn't know actually exactly what was wrong, we finally found the problem. Note-- this is after weeks of working only when available considering the fact that I work full-time and have school full-time.

This on on a 2002 Hyundai Accent 1.5L.

This is EXPLODED clutch material.  Basically one whole side of the clutch disc shattered, fell apart and like a rat in a blender mixed itself up real good inside the bell housing.  When I first opened it up it literally looked like a mouse had gotten inside and exploded, only without the blood or bones. 

As you can see here it literally looks hair-like and much of it got stuck in my hands as slivers and had to be picked out later. 

New on left, Old on right

This is where you can see the thickness differences between a new clutch and an old clutch. 

This is the difference in a new clutch on the left, and the exploded side of the clutch on the right. 

 Oh and yes,  the whole transmission was either being held up by this jack (in red below) , or Seth was holding it up with his bare hands.
