So the pivot points of contact were less than needed. This could be a pivot pocket too deep or the seesaw contact points not being far enough from the pivots in the parallel plane. This also hints to me my throwout bearing never took any time off.

I agree, it has baffled me, but it is now a night and day difference. I could put it in reverse on cold days and the drivetrain would shake because the clutch was not fully disengaged. Please tell me how this could be installed improperly, there is no room for adjustment on this assembly. And the shop that fixed it said they've seen several as they are a subi specific legit dyno speed shop. It was not the shop that installed it.

I have one installed, many people have them. Go ahead and Google " Verus clutch fork issue" and watch as nothing pops up..
I agree, but how could this part not be installed properly. Blame it all on a worn pivot or such. All other parts were brand spanking new. Wear marks on everything were normal, the fork didn't slip off the the TOB at all.



Bottom line, I replaced that part back to OEM and I'm good. You can defend Verus and doubt me all you want. The mechanic said the previous install was sound, and had seen these before. Call Surgeline yourself and ask them to elaborate.
