Clutch fork snapped

[GettinPaper]

I have an aftermarket clutch system act 2600 clutch with pressure plate... and i presume the stock 21 year old clutch fork was still in there.. My cars sitting at my buddies, I was wondering if its cool if i just started my car in 3rd gear and cruised home i live like 10 miles home.. and just drive her in 3rd... do you think the other half of the clutch fork in the transmission would hurt anything on the way back to my house??... i have no money for a flatbet... What do you guys recommend i do??? And what clutch fork should i order for my act 2600.. Any help is appreciated thanks

Get AAA.. its the first mod every DSMer should do.

you can just buy a new clutch fork from STM. i also recomend buying the pivot ball. i had the same issue happen to me with the same pressure plate. and the reason why it happened was because the pivot ball was not shimmed and the clutch fork was hitting the bell housing and caused the fork to break. so when you redo it defiantly look into shimming the pivot ball or you will break the new one.

I REALLY want to suggest you for rep for that, but I don't know if the mods would like it very much

A good tow strap is all you need.

So i should order the oem clutch fork and pivot ball?? What do you guys think would cause this... It not being shimmed?? It shifted smoothly with no problems before so this happened randomly.. >.>

I would definitely not drive it that way. If any piece of that fork gets caught in the clutch it could wreck it or the flywheel

Probally wouldn't chance driving it. You don't want it going in between those gears and eating them up. In the long run its probally gonna ruin your transmission.

I wouldn't take a chance running the engine with that thing in the bell housing. I upgraded my clutch to a competition clutch and noticed that they offer a forged fork and pivot ball.

What gears are you referring to? The only gear is the ring gear on the flywheel.

dont send a fork into the flywheel by driving it like that

would not drive it like that. I also have the same clutch i replaced my master, slave, and a master SS line when i did it.
