Clutch and Rust question...

[steveaw11]

Simple question really.

Is the clutch pictured below able to be used? If so do I need to do anything to it.

background:
That clutch pictured is brand new OEM, probably has ~4 miles on it. Thing is I left it attached to an engine for a while in a shop with no bay doors, so it obviously rusted up.
I covered and plugged engine all up but forgot to wrap this thing up

scotch brite the surfaces on the pressure plate. its like brake rotors, first time you use the clutch it'll clear up.

might not even need to scotch bright it.. think first time to use the clutch it will be fine. bell housing is designed to catch clutch dust as it wears down, dont see how this would be any different. only part i would worry about is the spring in the clutch disc which look fine. Run it!

ya its fine its the same concept as brake rotor rust

What do you think happens when you leave a car sit outside for awhile? Do you drop the trans to Scotchbrite the surfaces after a humid week without driving? Run it.
