What does the bearing support look like? You'll have to take the bearing and green cover off to get to it

I had a feeling that failed also. I wonder what failed first
Everything on that slave looks horrible--looks like it has been really hot for long periods of time

Yeah.
I highly doubt fluid caused this. The face of that bearing looks smashed in, wondering if that's what started it

I'm not sure--I've never had to measure on the clutches I've had. Mantic/Monster LT1
