K1 Clutch and the piston taken part pictures

Look closely at the picture below and you'll see that not only has the friction material gone but the rotor parts of the clutch are now conical!



Nice!

The rotor parts of the K1 clutch have also embedded themselves into some of the stators



The screw driver end is pointing to a lip of about 0.25mm

To make matters worse this front part of the transmission has suffered water damage



Bubbles / pockets of water has helped to cuase pitted corrosion on these surfaces. This must have happened with the transmission being poorly stored somewhere.
