Wow, did you wipe vaseline on your lens? I can't even make out the chips.

macro mode please

how does one send an unpackaged clutch?

if he didnt wrap it in bubble wrap or whatnot, then that's pretty jacked. i'd try to resolve with the sender first and get your money back.

paypal will not be the best help when it comes to issues.

[justinhustle]

make a claim with the shipping company

[s13SRtwentyDET]

did the package have insurance?

[red240]

Don't use it, might fly apart under heavy use?
Make a claim
Good luck

[m0rex]

Yeah find that small flower on your camera then post them pics again. If it got shipping insurance then the whoever it got shipped by should be responsible for it if he didnt get shipping insurance then it should be his fault but i dont think he will pay you back. Talk to the seller before doing anything then if he dosent do anything then try to get your money back from paypal.

[sepulchral]

sorry about the bad pics... shipper was usps and no insurance....

Those chips are not an issue since they're on the edge and not very deep, they'll wear in quickly. To the guy who said the pads might fly apart, you're a fucking idiot. The pads are pressed ceramic/organic just like a brake pad, you can chip, shave, grind any part of it and not affect the rest of it, just like cutting a thin slice out of a tire's treadblock.

Negotiate a small refund for the damage, be nice about it and the guy will more than likely agree.

uhhhhh :goyou:



this is NOT true... the clutch will be perfectly fine because your clutch will "break in" beyond the scrapes (dunno how deep they are but im just assuming). Just use it, it'll be fine.

It looks like a nice clutch though :rawk:

Calling me an idiot is not nessasery, you can just say I'm wrong, If we were on the street I gaurantee you wouldn't call me that to my face,
The pic's are bad and I didn't study them, so I'm wrong :fawk2:

[pignosecoupe]

Why would I be on the street on the other side of the country? I wouldn't be caught dead in that shithole section of the US.

The pucks on this clutch are sinstered bronze/copper not organic as you stated
The material is very hard and if it was hit hard enough[during shipping] to chip it could have had cracks that didn't show up in the pic's!!!
