Default confused : clutch

is it posable for an exedy HD organic clutch to just break from to much torque ? although the car hasnt been launched since the clutch was installed. its already done it once and now it feels the same and the car is acting the same just before the last one went.

image is were the last one busted.

FYI: running fmic with2.5' pipping all the way through so it doesnt exactly hammer boost instantly.

I've personally seen two Xtreme clutches installed on two different vehicles (not Subaru's), explode for no apparent reason at all.

Not sure if an Exedy would do the same, but anything is possible. Is it slipping?

no, just when you put your foot down and start to build boost it feels like....a big jerk and loss of power untill below 3k rpm, if your just driving along and speed up without hitting boost all is fine, this is the same as the one that poped.

You sure its not another problem? That doesn't sound like a clutch problem.

Not really i hijack but i have a similar issue....

went to launch it not long ago and heard this massive clunk....first thought oh no my box...but thats fine....now say im off throttle and i step on it...it feels like there is something lose, and there is clunkin noises.... its not motor related!! at first i thought it was exhaust mount...but thats cool...now im suspecting gearbox mount or engine mount or clutch is gone (car drives fine though)

any ideas???
