I have a zenki s14 with an sr. I pulled my tranny today after hearing and feeling disturbing things. I went around a corner in full throttle in 1st shifted to 2nd hard and the pedal stuck to the floor. The clutch started to engage then it was fully disengaged. I pulled the pedal off the floor with my foot and now the clutch was engaging at the bottom of the pedal stroke instead of the top were it usually did and it engaged rough and made a loud winning rubbing noise and was clicking all the time. With my foot on the pedal i could feel i rough vibration.
So I pulled the tranny and i found a destroyed throw out bearing that the fork had slipped of one of the tabs which explains the change in were the clutch engaged at.
What concerns me is that the throw out bearing come no where near to fitting snugly on the imput shaft Im pretty sure thats not normal?????
I know its supossed to be greased and rotate but im sure the quarter inch gap of play i have isnt normal
I will try to post pictures if you can help me out id appreciate it thanks!
