snapped the clutch fork prongs....both of em....broke while i was underneath the car and a friend was pushing in the clutch....that was a bit scary....
^very true, but no i don't know what a weld coupon is or how its tested.
Its surprising because the force of impact would lead me to believe this area would be 'pulled' apart causing stretching and such. But what appears is a small area like a foreign object hit it in a shearing direction...
Ill try to get my GF's camera, as my phone camera doesn't do much justice.
Yes, and this is why im soo surprised. I find it very odd and ill-logical IMO. Anyone shed some light?
^ill look for anything noticeable though, actually the RPM's go down when the clutch is NOT engaged. I assume this is for the same reason as why the car moves forward slightly when cold.
again, i have read up on this. though it shouldn't do this, i find its normal among the users of the clutch setup. Not sure why, probably why it heats up so quick in traffic, but it does.
^ohhhh yea. ok, well the only thing that happens cold is when i push in the clutch it starts normal and when i let the clutch out the car pulls forward a bit. This has ALWAYS happened though and doesn't happen when warm. I've read this is very common with the RPS 3200 PP/clutch combo though...
One, its been through a fire so it was slightly warped but after i hit a deer at 60MPH it did it in. Just thought the way if failed was interesting....and surprising....
Keep in mind, when i hit the deer the pass. headlight was up which pushed the crossmember support attached to the radiator...
i also had the clutch pedal fall and get stuck to the floor which is why i suspected the master/slave but ill pull off the cover....
Will there be metal shavings or anything obvious???
Its these things i'm worried about.
Though it grabs very hard if that changes anything as what you describe has to do with the pressure plate
no, never had a problem with it until now.
Edit: BTW this is a RPS 3200lb PP 6puck spring combo
Just my luck as normal with cars. I was driving around and lost pressure in the clutch. I can barely get it in first, it goes all the way to the floor and engages very violently.
Its been slowly leaking fluid awhile now, i think there...
I can understand basic algebra and such. However, again, at my level, there is some serious time and effort put into even the simplest problem. Typically 30min-1hr/problem, in other classes i've spent upwards of 2.5 hrs/problem. Most of the time is spent on basic algebra becuase there is so much...
