Survey Says!

Well I got my car torn apart this afternoon and was pretty happy with what I found, but a little perplexed. One of the tabs on the throw out bearing broke off! Very strange. It was a brand new Mitsu unit with maybe 1k miles on it and 10 launches. At least the clutch is good. I will stop by Brookdale on Mon and grab a new one.

The retainter on the clutch fork had jumped behind the TOB. Hopefully it will be good to go after that. I am not yanking the clutch apart, but that looks fine from the outside.

So, my car should be at the dyno day on Sunday!

glad to hear that it is not anything to serious. I hope that does the trick for you.

Excellent!

Huh? There's no side-to-side stress on the TOB, how would a tab break off?

[Pimpin Dsmstyle]

installation? Maybe it was cracked before the install and finally broke.

I know how to put a damn TOB on :P I have no idea what happened, it just must have been a bad TOB. It broke right at the base of the tab where it is bent. There weren't any marks on it or anything from hitting anything.

Nice kill!

See ya sunday!

The same thing happened to my car. I don't how long the bearing had been in there, but one day I was driving, normaly, then i couldn't get into gear. Opened it up, one of the tabs was broken off.
