Smile stage 2 clutch from f1 racing

hey guys, so i bought this stage 2 clutch with a fidanza flywheel like 5 months ago. i have put about 6000 miles in the car, that involved drifting and some races event.

today i did i compression test on my car and right after i was done i decided to go to the store. i was in first gear and the clutch was slipping while i was flooring it, i was like that not possible since this clutch is so new. i took it to the freeway to test if it was the clutch, and yes it was slipping in every single gear.

the manufacture from this clutch offered 10,000 or 1 year warranty on the clutch, doesn't that mean that he has to replace and give me a new one. threre is no way a stage 2 clutch can wear out like that.

This is something you need to ask the Manufacturer/Seller not us.

As for it wearing so quickly..... OpE?

I had been seeing those things on ebay for a while... take some pics when you take the clutch out...

try an ACT street clutch, six pucks definitely arent stock! how much power are you making?

you definitely don't need a 6 puck... my friend, reborn06 is making 360ft/lbs of torque, from 4800-8400 rpms, and the ACT street kit bites. It feels just like stock, only with a firmer pedal... much better than my CC stage 4 six puck!

there has to be a reason it stopped working in 6k miles... there are three possible reasons for this: parts, installation or the driver... how do you drive?
