Yea, it's the original fork. And it should be the original clutch. Except that when the first TOB blew I ordered the stage one kit from Exedy. The original clutch was fine but I replaced it anyway. The last time I changed the TOB I did the snout also. It still looks ok. I think I'll just polish it and reuse it. This time I'll grease the crap out of it though. I think that's what caused the failure of the fork. The TOB was binding on the snout. There's plastic powder all over the snout. I think maybe one of the clips let loose that caused everything.
