Would You Use This Clutch (PICTURE)

I had this in my car for 37 miles. I had some other motor problems and had to pull it back out. I'm putting it back in and don't know if I should use this or not.

I had a oil leak in the rear of the engine. I don't know if it was the rear main or if it even soaked the clutch with oil.

The clutch did slip under hard throttle but I would imagine that could be due to a new clutch not being broke in yet??

looking at the clutch it does not appear to have any oil on it. on the pads or any other part. its perfectly clean besides the pads. What do you think?. reuse? do you think the slipping was because its new?

break in for a clutch is a joke,as long as the mating surfaces are square you are fine.If the pads weren't oiled down I would invest in a differen't pressure plate. I just installed a new clutch in my car, drove it from the garage to the trailer to the staging lane, works great!!I'm running a Centerforce pp and full metalic clutch(single) from Southbend Clutch and hold fine.

I did end up reusing that clutch after cleaning it. I cleaned up to look almost new. It has not slipped once, the rear tires on the other hand have slipped quite a bit, but that's a problem I dont mind having at this point.
