it looks pretty decent, but i would still replace it. it could have gotten oil or trans fluid on the surface and it could slip, then you have to spend 5+ hours replacing it when you could have just spent 100 bucks or less on a new one.

its your choice. it does look like it has some decent life left in it tho.

I'd change that pressure plate, I don't like the look of the face. You'd probably need to have your flywheel resurfaced too!

Buy a kit you'll get an alignement tool. I have one but It's not mine! And I'd keep it too...
