How many miles are on the car? Have you checked if the master and slave are solid still? Admittedly I only know the symptoms of a failing main/slave (clutch pedal changes engagement points) but do not know how to test if they are leaking? That is my thoughts. Thanks, Eric |

28K miles on the car. And yes, that spring picture was just a reference point.
It's blizzare. fluids are new-ish and system was just bled. Mechanic checked slave/master and it seemed ok. ACT stage 2 with the heavier flywheel option (lighter than stock, but not super lightweight). I just can't seem to get consistency out of the setup. |

If you are losing pedal pressure it is most likely an issue with the clutch hydraulic system. If it were a pressure plate issue the clutch would slip when your experiencing the soft pedal. |

The spring idea was more of a thought to keep items aligned w/tension, as you described. I'll update once I get some news. I just dropped off the OEM clutch fork / pivot so everything can be checked. Im highly doubting a problem exists with the clutch hydraulics. I had 0 issues before the clutch swap, and the vehicle is very low mileage. |

- Shop dropped the trans, the pressure plate from the clutch (ACT) had very uneven pressure plate teeth. - Sent to ACT for RMA replacement; the replacement pressure plate we got back was just as bad, maybe worse. - Refunded the clutch and moved to an Exedy stage 2. Problem solved. Everything is butter smooth. Now I just need to get used to the Exedy clutch catch point (basically with 0 pressure on the clutch pedal). Shifts, engage/disengage via the fork is easy and improved. Thanks! |

what were the conditions that cause the original item to fail?
i am running high power, with a twin plate clutch on a modified gearbox but an OEM fork and pivot. |

So to get to the point, yes, you likely are seeing some movement and the clutch fork may potentially fail. Patrick, earlier in this thread, goes through his experience with an Exedy twin. It was very difficult to drive before the fork, after the fork the twin disc acted like a normal clutch again. Let me know if you have anymore questions.

Being locked out of reverse sometimes is not uncommon though, just a part of reverse gear. I think it has something to do with the extra gear in there (idler) which doesn't allow the gear to move to allow you to select it at times when you aren't moving. Thanks, Eric |
