I would clean up the fur with a razor blade and role with it. Doesn't look too bad.

This is what the side view of the first pic above looks like
It concerns me that the area is broke all the way thru.
The other spots look like they can be cleaned up with no problems.

I would think it would be ok if you clean it up well. I think it will smooth itself out the rest of the way after its slipped a few times and be fine.

I would send it back and make sure you get what you pay for. Unless you like pulling your clutch every other weekend.

Shipper is going to have UPS pick it up.
I'll order a new one from Gene at Fred Beans on monday.
No use taking a chance.
Thanks all.
