Clutch is out of a 2009 Civic SI with 89,000 miles.
Nieces car, she took it to the Dealer because clutch sometimes wouldn't disengage completely. They took it apart and found the disk broken.. A piece of the metal that holds the spring in place broke loose.. Clutch never slipped.. Just intermittently didn't disengage completely.
Usual Dealership and Warranty Company issues now.. They say it is a wear item.

Anyone ever see a clutch disk come apart like this ???
I have an appointment with the Regional Honda Warranty Rep next week to show it to him.
Any idea's?

1990 CRX, the clutch disk had a spring that came out. Happened before I bought the car in 1993 with 30K miles on it. Made a metallic squeaking/rubbing noise when I let the clutch out, and the engagement point was not completely consistent.

Drove on it for a long time, as it got slowly worse. Finally had the clutch replaced, and found that the spring had come out. There were tabs on each side of the are where the springs lived, one tab on the hole with the detached spring was folded back. Weird stuff.
