I am somewhat stumped by a problem I have with my pivot ball. I replaced it less than a year ago, inspected the throwout bearing, and replaced the fork itself and it broke again. I got the parts from Mazdatrix (whom IIRC says their pivot ***** are supposed to be stronger). I am running an ACT extreme pressure plate with a sprung 6puck disk. Any clues as to what could cause this to break so often would be greatly appreciated.

 

And you're still wondering why it's breaking?

Like ted said, it is because of the pressure plate. It is too stiff for the ball and the fork.

 

ok, now is there anywhere that offers a pivot ball that is truely stronger? I just went to Mazdatrix site and now it says nothing about being stronger than stock. I don't have the money to buy a new clutch right now and I need to get this fixed.

 

im running the same clutch as you and have broken 3 of them. just make sure you get a **** load of pivot ***** lol. it sucks having to change them at the track lol
