Subject:      what could be the explanation of the crack clutch
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

Dear List

My new pressure plate cracked after about 2000 miles . its also looks
like the new clutch was ruined.

I am a very driver and never had to change the clutch in 30+ years of
manual driving.

Can a faulty transmission responsible of it.  the first rebuilt
transmission with a new "main shaft" was a piece of #$#, the second gear
was constantly popping out. some time, it was quite brutal because it
was happening at  hight RPM  on the decent using the engine break. The
replacement (with no new main shaft I paid $1000 previously)Â  was rushed
in, we had to change the 3 seals and it is still a piece of ....but a 5
years warranties piece of ... I have the feeling I will use it.

Any way, could it be that the faulty transmission responsible of the
crack ? this is the only explanation I have


THanks
