Can a clutch be fitted wrongly?
I've just killed my clutch,which i fitted myself during an engine conversion.
What i want to know is could the failure be due to incorrect fitment? The centre just ripped appart,in a big way!
Cheers Tim

It was an exeedy unit, fitted on a 2.5 conversion running about 365bhp.
I had my foot down in 3rd,and it just went!
Can the plate be fitted the wrong way round,as it seemed it would foul the flywheel if fitted backwards.

It def was an exeedy organic clutch,from an official dealer,costing £300. The plate hasn't welded itself to the cover,but wedged itself into the outer springs.
Im not totally sure of the power but as said it's probably the torque that finnished it off,it lookes like the centre just sheared off! The 2.5 pulls much harder than the 2.0 in any gear!
Im hoping the ap 6 paddle clutch i've got on order will hold up.
