Nick,<br><div>My other suggestion would have been to try a smaller master cylinder.

<div> Was it all in good working order and then it just got funky or did anything lead up to it?</div>
<div>It sounds like a heck of a shock load to break a gear, hard to believe that it's a friction surface issue, sounds more mechanical.</div>

<div dir="ltr">OK, so I've had a weird problem with the clutch on The Duke of Oil (TR4A). It suddenly started acting like an off/on switch with no chance of slippage to get goin. The engagement was so sudden that it broke a side gear in the locker. Upon review everything appeared well within spec. I changed the clutch disc. transmission input shaft and changed the throwout bearing sleeve. No dice...same issue.</div>
<div dir="ltr">Got it apart again and have changed everything...disc, pressure plate, bearing, crankshaft bush, cross shaft bushings, clutch hose, clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder...pedal assembly seems smooth without any binding. Have also double pinned the throwout fork to the cross shaft.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">SO...any thoughts?</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br clear="none">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Also have pinned the throwout bearing flange so that it will not spin on the sleeve. Anybody else pin the flange, or do you let it turn on the sleeve? Why/why not?</div>
