Had clutch issues, found out why.

My Pivot pin broke in half. Dont know if anyone else has seen this, but I figured I would throw this out there as an FYI. It explains why my clutch release was so low to the floor...

Interesting, well glad you found out why! I'll keep this in the back of my mind for the future I guess

Was this even suggested in your old thread? I can't remember, but it doesn't sound familiar, how'd you decide to check it? Just checking everything?

Well, it finally got so bad that I couldnt even disengage the clutch anymore. I suspected a bent/broken clutch fork, but what I DIDNT expect was a snapped in half pivot pin that was mushroomed on both sides of the break..
