I'm no expert but that's what it looks like to me too Joe. I got some bad advice and only broke in the clutch for about 250 miles before tracking and they were not all city miles - combination of highway and city. Not nearly enough break-in apparently. So it does look like it did get too hot in small areas which caused it to fail. Pressure plate plate looks good to me with all fingers evenly matched. Thanks for your diagnosis on these pictures. I'll get back with you. Phil
