Clutch: learn from my oops


Recommended Posts

I have been thru 4 clutches over the life of my '12 LGT. NEVER did I know about this simple preventive measure. Learn from me - do it next time you change your clutch out. As you know, changing the clutch on our cars is quite labor intensive. So here I am, with 10k on my new clutch and I have to go back in to fix something so simple. The link below really has a good read on what happens as well as where I bought it from. (mine looked like the fourth picture - punched thru)

Don't go with OEM - no reason as the cost is not that significant between them. Go buy it and do what Zee and GTEASER does - put it on your shelf - so that when you change your clutch, do this too. Even if you don't need to! Do it.

 

Much love and you're welcome for the enable.

Good info and links to specific parts and vendors is always appreciated. I'm debating gathering up clutch parts for when the day comes. I'll keep this in mind. Now I just need someone to tell me where to get that TSK3 kit thing :)

Can i use the billet pivot ball with the OEM fork?

 

I think it's the OEM fork that is prone to failure with a stronger aftermarket clutch. If anything, I'd go with the aftermarket fork vs pivot ball between the two, but the pivot ball is fairly inexpensive so why not replace both?

Definitely have these parts in my mind for clutch job - I think these were the fail points which caused my 1st aftermarket clutch to die an early death
