Clutch forks on FCs, but not on FDs.



Hummmm



That suck though man. Thats what sucks about clutch problems. You fix one thing, find its another or breaks another, or you get lucky and just solve it, only so many things you can change though

ive been there before. and i put the shards right through the bellhousing. :roll: there are NO upgraded forks out there anywhere that i have found. when you look at the shards under a microscope, it unbelievable that they hold together from the factory under any conditions....

its just oneof the things to add to the list of things to replace every time the trany is out of the car. for the lousy $75 it cost for new one, its well woth it IMO to just replace it.

yeah i just changed my clutch out like 2-3 months ago... and i looked at it and was like uhhhhh i guess its okay and i dont need to replace it. guess i was wrong. I heard that there was a company that made upgraded forks though. i will search around alittle today and tomorrow and if not then i will just get a new one from malloy. also i heard that this happens more often to 93 rx7's. maybe they replaced it on later models.....on a brighter note...i started polishing my manifolds today. they look pretty good!!
