You went to AAMCO? 
Of course they told you it was burnt - they wanted your money.
Your old plate was definitely NOT burned. Slightly worn, but normal.
If you had actually ever seen a bruned clutch, you would know this.
Enjoy your lightned wallet.

The car didn't operate, it had to be towed. The pressure plate was also NOT normal, you have also not seen the other side of the clutch (I didn't feel like taking out out from the pressure plate, it's extremely dirty).
The pressure plate had the most damage.

What were the actual run-out numbers for the old clutch disc? How about the pressure plate?
Was the Marcel tested?
What was the machine depth on the new flywheel?
What pilot bearing did they use?

I didn't purchase a new flywheel to avoid aftermarket parts that become essential to my warranty, hence if I needed a new transmission in the future - they could have refused to do it under warranty. Even though there is a rule stating they must prove that the damage to the transmission was done by the aftermarket product, if not they cannot refuse to replace the item.

1. Aren't taking your money.
2. Haven't already screwed you overlike AAMACO
3. Probably more knowledgable than the mechanics that just worked on your car from AAMACO, because obviously they messed something up in your tranny, or you wouldn't have warranty coverage trying get it fixed at Mazda.
Good Luck

That clutch doesn't look burned at all - just...old and worn. If the disc shown were cleaned, it'd be easier to see how the whole thing is blue.

Nevermind how the clutch disc failed...note the colour?

Quit the flaming. The point of this forum is to help others as opposed to ridiculing them. The whole point of Swoope flaming is a futile attempt to impress other posters with his opinion of what's going on with a stranger's case. Tergiversate from your assholish ways and perhaps Bart! (probably reeling that he didn't know the information that he's being flooded with at this point before he made a purchase [not saying he shouldn't have researched it beforehand]) will learn from this.
Garner some maturity, all of you.
Peace bitches.

Maybe people should have thicker skin? That way, we could all have FUN flaming.
Know what Brett Favre said after GB won the coin-toss before the Seahawks/Packers game last sunday?
"We want the ball and we're going to score."
Hasselbeck didn't call in a moderator to 'warn' Brett...he laughed it off.
:D
