So I'm hoping 3rd time's the charm for my '92 vert. I think the factory dual mass clutch got 100k or so on it, and then i went to the single mass steel flywheel with spec performance clutch. First i had a shop install the clutch which i got from summit racing. Worked for a while before burning out. Since the clutch was warranteed- I wound up having a shop do the replacement- then it burned out again. Giving up one the single mass, i found a deal on a factory clutch/trans combo and installed it myself. Unfortunately, as it was my first attempt at a clutch replacement, i apparently didn't seat the throwout bearing properly, and destroyed that when the fork partially came off. The good news is that i had all the spare parts available to do the job yet again.
This time i went back to the spec clutch since money's tight and its still under warranty. This time i'll be extra careful with that bearing- any tips on getting that thing off/out? its always a huge pain. As is the aluminum channel surrounding the driveshaft.... anyway, to the big question: What could be causing all this clutch burning? This is a daily driver and not a race car. I don't feel any dramatic vibrations like somethings off balance- the clutches just seem to wear super fast! Am i screwed if i don't have the factory dual mass for balance reference? I've heard rumors...
Anyway, check out the wear in these pics- I'm sure the fact that its worn significantly more at the edges means something to some of the experts out there! thanks for any help in any regard!

what components are balanced to a particular rotation?
