clutch fork broken, job started
last week when clutching, the pedal suddenly became really hard to press,
the problem was the fork it self , the pivot points brook and seize into the tranny.
here are some pictures of what i did . i took me 15 hour of job . to do all this ,
flywheel have been resurface, and the fork welded.
redid all the wiring of the engine,
clean and paint the tranny and transfert case .
remove the AC . ( oh BTW you need to remove the turbo elbow to remote the AC braket)
i'll change the front main sael.
and change all piping, vacuum that had a little crack,
the clutch you see was the one it had ! .. i was surprise, oh and do you know the clutch compagnie kayabe ?
Good job so far Seb, glad you were able to get the fork welded. I spoke with another gtir owner yesterday and he mentioned he had done the same thing to his fork when he replaced the clutch. I`m happy to hear I convinced you to shed that 50lbs A/C junk :)
p.s. find your camera, phone pics suck!!!
I wish I could tell what part actually broke.
i welded my fork aswell, never had a problem since
that's nice to hear that a welded forks hold
is the nismo pivots ball really a good mod... my pivot is not broken or even anormally use
hope my car will be ready for the first MCO events on june 5
i'll command a heater hose kit from ebay probably since i found 2 cracked hose under the intake
job is done
yes you can make this all alone ..
patience and you"ll get it
since the cars runs great and everything !
i'm having the same problem with my R but my fork i believe is scratching because my fork is bent, if this is so. should i replace the fork and replace the clutch? (because my clutch is slipping)
since you be there to repair the forks ! change the clutch at the same time. its a pain in the ass to remove those transmission.
just wondering what type of welding had to be done on the fork? what type of metal? it'll give me something to do while im bored at work (fabrication shop)
