Re: pics of my clutch breakage
Your left leg must be too strong! That really sucks though  Now instead of springs popping out they have fingers snapping off.

Re: pics of my clutch breakage
How long have they been putting that raised oval bit in? I don't remember that on older ones. I assume they do that for strength. But it seems like it might just make all the bending happen at the base of the finger instead of spread over the length of it, causing it to snap off like that.

Re: pics of my clutch breakage
Whoa, never seen that before. I've had my ACT clutch disc completely destroyed. When I popped off the PP, 10+ pieces fell out. Crazy stuff. Must've taken quite some force to brake off a teeth like that. wow.

Re: pics of my clutch breakage
ACT called me back today.
They looked at the pressure plate and determined it was not broken due to abuse on my part, so they're sending me a new pressure plate today!
^_^
i am pretty happy about this.
