that's not a fork, that's the pushrod for the slave, which is being replaced

@popo8 that picture does look bent.



I had the same thing happen to my last car, Or at least very similar.

Make a long story short, It was the first time I had pulled a t56 from a Lt1 and I didnt pull the fork out before trying to remove the transmission, I was prying on it and must have bent the fork slightly before I realized the fork had to removed to pull the trans.

I didnt think I bent it but when I put everything back together the fork was touching the pressure plate if I pushed the clutch down all the way.

I also thought my pushrod was suddenly to long but if I remember correctly I made a shorter one and it still contacted because the slave cylinder adjusts itself?
Kinda like when your brake pads wear down the piston just comes out a little farther to make up for the difference in thickness if that makes any sense.

the slave pushrod that pushes the fork is bent, I don't know if it was bent before this issue, but with the way the rest of this car is, I'll strongly assume it was. it is being replaced with new hydros/pushrod. the actual clutch release fork that grabs the throw out does not appear bent, and I can't afford a new fork ($200 yikes) before dyno day to test that theory.

if anyone has a good clutch fork for less than the blood of my first born, and can get it to me by Friday this week, pm me.

Can you tell if the fork was hitting the backside of the pressure plate?

oh yeah

not my pic, and mine isn't nearly as gouged, but looks the same on the edge, and can see the two contact points on the fork where.

Yep that's exactly how mine looked, not that bad though either. I don't remember if I bent the fork back or if I just grinded it out a little more but I didn't purchase another fork.

well zoom sucks. they won't warranty the pressure plate that is 2/10" thicker on the mounting pads than the old one, said handle it thru summit. summit said they may not honor warranty since pp is damaged.

anyone used competition clutch
