I dont know if i can blame it on the stage 3 clutch, or just wear and tear, but i want to believe its a little of both, probably more on the clutch though. I want to think the crack is most definitely because of the pressure plate. Anyone heard of or experience this? Also, has anyone ever tried beefing these things up, or is that even a feasible procedure? or if not, does anyone offer a beefier one?

 

wtf!!!!

 

Ive seen it on a DSM but not on a maxi. It wasnt broke like that either it was just bent. Pissed me off too.i had a stage 3 clutch on my 97 and never experinced that....

 

I've seen that happen on an S13 a buddy used to have back in the day.

I'd think the only real way you could beef it up would be to weld some kind of bar or something across it, kind of doubling it up.

 

i think its just wear/age/hard use.

only thing to do is replace it with a junkyard / part out one. would be entertaining to see what prices would be like on this.

 

this just happened to me!!! check my thread "Trouble shifting when hot" I can't figure out how the retainer spring goes in, can anyone help?

 

we just saw where mine started to crack, Jb welded it for now

 

Mine cracked like that as well, due to my ACT Xtreme pp

 

Maxima.713 broke his too, he had a mechanic weld it to beef it up. PM him

 

Not a good pic but you can sorta see how I beefed mine up. I got another fork, welded a thick washer on top of that part and on the other side of the fork, I boxed it out.

 

You have a turbo. ********.
