Well, I have been having some issues with the clutch lately and I see why.
Been having issues where the clutch wasn't disengaging properly no matter how hard you pressed down on the pedal.
Well, if you know the history of this... the 05 to 09 Had an issue where the plastic rod eye would snap off the master cylinder, rendering you dead in the water.
In my case, I was on 400 southbound just approaching the 401 east ramp when I heard a click...
Needless to say, I knew exactly what was going to happen next.
I swirly pulled over at the tightest emergency lane on the 400 to 401 east ramp and with the last attempt to see if my thought were right the plastic rod eyes snapped in half.
Lucky for me, I had already been searching the S197 forums and a lot of our American friends had had they're snapped at around 150,000 miles. ( I sit at 264,000km / 164,000 miles)
Well, lucky had hit me since I had previously purchased this "Hop up" part aka Metal replacement rod from a person machining them.
The repair took about 5 minutes
The clutch pedal is 10x firmer now but my clutch bite is so high... so Yes clutch is on its way out, I guess the loose plastic piece was worn down enough to not fully engage the slave cylinder.
The metal rod eye can be found on eBay for about 50-60 bucks, of you can make your own or last option is to replace the master with a gt500 or stock and hope it doesn't snap
Lucky for me I purchased it when the user was selling them for 20 bucks. Looks like it boomed because he is up in price now!
