Default Clutch Disc Damaged in Shipping... Would you use it?

Ordered a clutch kit from someone, and it arrived like this... Would you use it or no? And why?

Eh if there were no high spots, probably. I'd try to remove any loose pieces and make it as even as you can without removing much material. I'd still be annoyed though

Absolutely not simply because labor is much more expensive than the part.

Too much work to take a chance on a questionable part.

Doesn't appear to be enough to worry about. But if you are like me, if there was an odd behaviour from the clutch, you would like about this flawed disc as the culprit. I would try and solve it with a perfect one. I

I'd trim it and use it, no big deal.

i would sell it to any of the guys who feel its proper to run a damaged disk on their car and get a disk in new shape. seriously its damaged. have the vendor you bought it from refund the money or replace the disk. its obviously new never used and damaged in either handling or shipping. should be a no brainer

With a hit like that it could have an internal fracture that you can even see. It may even delaminate where it is hit. I would Send it back.

I was under the impression he bought it from a member, if it's from a vendor send the ****er back for sure.

that will have no impact on the function of the disk but seeing how you made this post in the first place, i would get a replacement if you paid full retail price from a vendor. If you got a great deal on it because its damaged then you saved some money and use it as is (do remove the lose pieces)
