I was wondering is there any upgrades for the clutch fork in the KA tranny?
I recently installed the Competition Clutch "White Bunny" 6 Puck clutch/flywheel kit, and it's amazing, I finally reached 1000 miles with it and it feels great.
But the problem is that my clutch fork was slightly bent from wear, and I figured it wasn't too bad so I went ahead and left it in with the new clutch kit.
Now sometimes (it doesn't happen too often but it's highly aggrivating when it does) but when I come from a dead stop, the clutch would grind when I start letting the off the clutch pedal to take off, and to stop the grind I simply push the clutch back in and retry. I believe this is due to my bent clutch fork and worn pivot ball, causing the clutch not to disengage smoothly or properly. I have a brand new throwout bearing so I know that is not the issue.
The White Bunny from Competition Clutch consist of a OE styled 250mm pressure plate which is larger than the stock KA24DE pressure plate. I replaced my CMC/Slave also. So I'm wondering since the PP is larger, and I'm assume the pressure has also been increased, it would make my already worn clutch fork/pivot ball wear down quicker.
Is their any "upgrade" or a stronger clutch fork to compensate for the increase of PP size? I have a Circuit Sports pivot ball on the way which they claim is "stronger than the Nismo unit". Or should I be fine with a brand new stock clutch fork? Sorry for the long post, I try to include the problem detailed as possible so it doesn't cause confusion.
