The flywheel is gone, sold it to someone who did not care about the heat damage. I still have the 471 clutch. I guess a new pressure ring would fix it. An almost $500 clutch. Yours for shipping.

I was not suggesting that the driver was at fault in your case. I was just showing that the hot spots were similar in placement. I would think you did not have enough clutch or the disc wore too thin...
