I expect to sell my car shortly, in fact, I might even trade it in, so keep this in mind with answering my question.
My T-45 transmission just happens to be out of my car (long story). The transmission works completely fine. However, upon inspecting the flywheel and clutch pressure plate, I noticed that they have that burned blue color on them that is a sign of overheating. I'm trying to decide if I should put the money into replacing these parts, but I'm not sure as the trans seems to work just fine.
Please tell me all that you know about blue burned steel, so I know if I should really replace it. Again, I will more than likely get rid of the car before the next 1000 miles. Is it really that bad? Does it make the clutch not bite as much? Will is make noise real soon? What's the real deal?
Thanks,
