"We've come across instances of the stock fork warping"

Are they serious? That thing is a solid piece of cast iron. It's one of the most hard core parts in the driveline. WTF.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

While on 3sx, a mate here in Oz had probs with a SPEC 2 clutch. He told 3sx and they said, "take some pics, we'll send them to SPEC and we will look after you on your next clutch." LOL - their 'looking after' was 3sx knocking a massive $35 off their shipping quote to Australia. So instead of $265 to send a farking clutch, they made it $230. Oh, you do too much for your customers 3sx! :anger: Needless to say, I have got my friend to go elsewhere for a clutch! ;)

I don't know what you're talking about. 3sx has nothing but fair prices, both on their outstanding products and their shipping rates. IPO said so, and when he talks, you can chisel it in stone that it's the truth.

The clutch fork may not warp/bend, but it can wear out at the pivot point. It happens all the time on DSM's and occassionally on 3s cars that aren't well maintained or don't have the parts installed properly when installing a new clutch or other new parts.

The fork doesn't bend. The clip that holds it to the pivot ball does.

I wouldn't buy from 3sx if I bought every existing 3S left on earth and they were the only shop.

What, it's not let IPO would use it to buy back a failed business venture from Steve.
