ok so im out in a parking lot 2nite messing around in the rain a bit, i thought i kinda noticed my clutch slip earlier today but rly dident think any thing of it cuz when i got the motor i checked it and it had alot of meat on it, so yea all the sudden no power, motor revs fine, but the clutch pedal feels stiffer than before and i smelled wat i think was the clutch burning up, but yea the clutch plate had alot of meat as did the pressure plate so i dont know how it could be that with not even having 1000 miles on it. and it cant be anything with the hydraulic system because pedal is stiff. but i wondering if it has something to do with the fork or that pivot ball. so yea just looking for and tips or things to look for when i pull the transmission wednesday

Don't drop the tailshaft on your hand.. it may look inconspicuos and light, but it takes alot of skin and stops fingers working properly for the next couple of days.

Other then that, Work hard, and be good to your mum.

LMAO! I still remember the pics of your hand. That was crazy!

There is a chance that you've broken the pivot ball. I've busted two of them. My CA now sports a NISMO unit. I HIGHLY reccomend it.
