Thanks for all the help guys. Ordered an Exedy OEM clutch but skipped the new clutch fork as I'll probably never exceed 205whp. Hopefully it'll be semi cheap to resurface the flywheel and do the install.

You have also substantially reduced the pressure on your fork with the cylinder swap so may not be the best of examples. There are plenty of examples of twisted or bent forks on here. Just a slight deviation is all that is required to chew a TOB up in a hurry. Stock clutch and lower HP all is probably fine but a heavier disc and higher HP it is something to be considered. Squeaky pivots may be annoying but as long as they are still pivoting they are not burning out bearings and destroying plates.

If it wasn't strong enough it would yield and fail right away. Like @Sportsguy83 said, there are many more examples of the stock fork pushing against heavy clutches just fine. That's not the cause. When my TOB started binding against the snout I immediately recognized it as a potential cause for broken forks with that characteristic bind/snap/bind/snap of a component dangerously close to the yield point. My point about it getting squeaky was just to point out that it's not perfect.

Finally had the clutch replaced. Throw out bearing completely seized, caused it to melt and the the heat ruined the "teeth" on the clutch effectively ruining the oem clutch as well.

Pressure plate's damaged but I've seen worse. My younger poorer self would be tempted to clean up those burrs with some emery cloth and reinstall to get a couple more years out of it.

After some hard driving my clutch pedal starts making a squeaky noise when about 80% depressed and feels less compliant. It's only just started doing it (after a track day actually). Any ideas what may be up?
(Nb: I've got an xtreme organic clutch, replaced the OEM 10months ago) |

Does it just do it one time per stroke or does it continually squeak when the clutch pedal is depressed .. ?? Does it squeak when the clutch pedal is NOT depressed .. ?? @Ultramaroon will hopefully be on the case ..... humfrz |

Your remark about feeling less compliant gets my attention. If it feels like it's binding it's time to get in there and clean out the dust from your new clutch. Don't break your fork.

I'm not looking for a fight but stating that it is a rare case is a bit of a stretch at this point, IMO. Trust me, I didn't believe it at first either. We have about a dozen pictures like this. Thanks, Eric |

Point taken. Does not seem a rare case from your data
