Arrow The Clutchmasters fail continues....

Here are some pictures of my Clutchmasters FX300 after 25K miles.

The symptoms I was having were the cluch would disengage at the top of the pedal but not when fully pressed and chatter to where the car would start to creep forward while disengaged.













Some signs of rubbing here:

I'll second that, I owned a FX 400 for about a year and a half and had nothing but problems with it originally starting with the pressure plate being to thick. The clutch set up just sucks period.

Nope not cracked, that is a scratch from the springs lol

But yes it was pretty damn noisy!

***Well I have a major update, Clutchmasters is standing behind there product and is going to ship me a replacement free of charge! After the stuff I have been through with this, I am relieved that there is atleast one charge I can scratch off of my list.
