Unless the clutch disc decides to play chop saw.......
That's why they make scattershields
You ever see a disc come out whole? It happens, and it's ugly.
Hell, a buddy had a piece of a flywheel come through the driver's side back window of his Fairlane in the traps at Motion. It came out of the 396 Chevelle in the other lane. It blew a hole through a Lakewood scattershield.
What we do can be dangerous. I think the OP's point is use the best parts you can.
