Red dust on clutch pressure plate? Could this be bad?
Okay, heres the thing. I have about 7,500miles on my exedy twin mm022HD ceremetallic clutch. As I was changing the oil I decided to take a look at the clutch through the maintenance hole on the bottom of the bell housing. There wasn't much dust which is a good thing but oh wait a sec! I see a little bit of red dust around the edges of the pressure plate diaphram fingers. hmmm.... is this a sign of misalignment? Or could it be normal? I feel nothing is wrong with the clutch and have done only 1 hard launch at 6k. This thing still grabs like crazy but I'm concerned about the red dust.

Im in the process of swapping out my stocker. This is the origional clutch and the flywheel is covered in a fine red dust. I thought it was a little odd and desided to search on it and this thread is all that came up.
wtfever it means, i dun like it.
But now that I got it off at least I know why it was grabbin funny.

Only thing that concerns me about that is that exedy says to look for red dust when changing clutch and to fix the issue before installing the new one, but they don't say what the issue is
