Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The clutch disc on a 2002 Mitsubishi Mirage manual transmission was eaten up down to the bare metal, starting to eat away at the flywheel and chip the driveshaft because I was not informed in any way that the clutch disc was a wear item and was disappointed when I found out. The clutch disc was faulty, in complete shreds all over the inside of the transmission. I had to clean out the transmission and replace the pressure plate, throw out bearings, pilot bearings, flywheel and clutch disk. Those are the parts required to do this job. …”
