I've had my MX-3 for a long time. Well, since 98, which really isn't
that long I guess. I've had just about every area of the car apart,
from trannies, to suspensions, to engines...the whole bit. But I
think the area that's caused the most trouble is the clutch system.
Of course the stock clutch sucked, so I replaced it with an ACT setup.
Great clutch, highly recommended. That led to some WOT 3-4 shifting
(hey...it made the K8 chirp 4th
), which hosed the 3-4 shift fork(entirely my fault). So in goes new MX-6 tranny, and everything is
cool. Until I blow a slave cylinder. Or 3. And a clutch master
cylinder. Or 6 (maybe more). And the clutch fork pivot bolt (thought
it was the clutch, so put a new ACT in when I found that one...still
got the old ACT in the box, nearly new after 2 years of abuse).
So I'm driving around today, and I notice the now familiar signs of a
failing seal somewhere in the clutch system. Its not the hose, cause
that's a SS line now. I decided I'm really sick of changing slave
cylinders and clutch master cylinders, and I want a endgame-type
solution for this. Any suggestions for a way to make the system take
the added pressure of the ACT? Custom machined CMC/slave cylinder?
Convert to cable? Really, at this point, money isn't an option,
because just about any option is going to be cheaper than continuing
to replace the various parts over the years (enevitably I lose the
receipts for the "lifetime guarantee" ones from wherever).
