    Clutch fork snapped in half

    Check this bull**** out. Anyone ever had this happen? I hastily went to the stealership and bought a new one for $40, but on the way home stopped by a junk yard and found this fork off of a 1994 mx-6. They appear to be the same although the dealership told me otherwise. Bitches...

      that takes skill.... id almost have to send you a dozen cookies for that too.... your loss we didn't talk about it first

      i think the fork difference lies in the pivot ball size... what year mx6 btw?? & turbo or non turbo.

        1994 non turbo I believe. I think you might be on to something.

                        Inspirational if nothing else j/k. It was simple once the pneumatic tools were employed. Snoted a bunch of gear oil on the drive-way, thank goodness we are old school slurry vs. nice clean concrete. Thanks again Eric and Steve for answering all my tard questions.

                        The clutch is a Clutchnet manufacturing stage 3, remarkably a very friendly racing clutch and of course has never given me a bit of slipage.

                              i hope you replaced your throw out bearing, that's probably why you snapped your fork.
