I am very familiar w/ FB's. My borther has a 90 vert. Starting having clutch problems today. Starting w/ bleeding the system, got a little bit of air, but nothing significant.
When you push the clutch it, it screeches, smell the clutch burning. When car is in gear and clutch is engaged its fine. W/ it in neutral and clutch engaged its fine. Only when you are trying to disengage the clutch does it screech and you can smell it burning and car wants to bog down and cut off. Pushing the clutch in, I can see the slave pushing the fork in. If I had to guess, there isnt enough pressure pushing the fork in? Doesnt seem to be an issue w/ the clutch at all but maybe the hydraulics. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks

If you don't have problems shifting I wouldn't think its a hydraulic issue

it is only when the clutch is disengaged. Engine bogs and you can smell clutch burning/screetching when you push the clutch in. Just changed the slave cylinder and there seems to be plenty of pressure. leaning now more towards a bent clutch fork

Pivot ball?

Im going to buy a clutch kit and just pull it. W/ clutch pedal in, the clutch fork is all the way back, but the clutch is still partially engaged. When the clutch is engaged, holds fine. So im sure now that it isnt hydraulic, and I am still leaning towards bent fork. Guess Im looking for a little reassurance that seomthing similar has happened to someone else on here lol.

Broken forks are a common problem with FC's running the ACT Extreme Pressure Plate. But I highly doubt a stock vert is running it.
