Dear List

My new pressure plate cracked after about 2000 miles . its also looks
like the new clutch was ruined.

I am a very driver and never had to change the clutch in 30+ years of
manual driving.

Can a faulty transmission responsible of it.�  the first rebuilt
transmission with a new "main shaft" was a piece of #$#, the second gear
was constantly popping out. some time, it was quite brutal because it
was happening at�  hight RPM�  on the decent using the engine break. The
replacement (with no new main shaft I paid $1000 previously)�  was rushed
in, we had to change the 3 seals and it is still a piece of ....but a 5
years warranties piece of ... I have the feeling I will use it.

Any way, could it be that the faulty transmission responsible of the
crack ? this is the only explanation I have

THanks
