i am in the process of replacing the clutch coz that recently shat itself. I was having a hard time depressing the pedal to change gears etc and now we know why. Upon removing the gearbox from my car subarino and i discovered what "could" have been the problem

heres a pic, can any one tell me whats wrong??

as well as that the pins were completely missing from the thrust bearing so was free to spin round the shaft, resulting in it getting SHAGGED out. The teeth on the pressure plate have been worn a bit from the bearing but will survive....

Have seen 1 from MY, L, Lib and Foz do this in the last 2 months. All were the same, full of dirt and NO grease.

hehe wow havn't seen that before!

I'm sure you guys probably have a spare L series clutch fork somewhere but if you don't, drop round my place and grab one.

looks familiar. my old car had a similar thing but the clutch fork was also cracked. going to change the one in the GT2 once it gets here.
