Master cylinder rod/ MPx Clutch Pedal Pivot Arm and Bushing - SRT Forums

epic619 · 10-19-2009, 10:49 PM

i dont know if this is due to the MPx Clutch Pedal Pivot Arm and Bushing but i didnt have a problem untill i added that new arm. when i first got it and installed it, i tested the clitch pedel a few times and broke the master rod that comes into the car. whatever i thought maybe it was time to change it and i had the part to change it anyways.

after i got it from the shop with a new master and slave cylinder installed i was happy and went to work . on the way home the rod breaks again and im left in the middle of the street in traffic.

i dont mean to bash on this MPx part but the troubles didnt come untill i put that part in. is anyone else having that same trouble? tomorrow im getting my 2nd master rod installed spending more money but putting the new plastic part in.

rage tek said that this would happen with this part.... you should contact MPx and see if they will do anything about this.

this really sucks... i spent total in parts and install cost 665 that includes a tow to the shop. tomorrow ill have to pay another install charge. there went my extra money ...

ill have to wait till tomorrow morning to make a phone call.

i'm not bashing MPx at all, they are a great vendor on here and i have bought a few things from them with no problems.

yeah i have also got a few things from them. everything is great but the only problem i have is that arm. i hope they can do something for me...

if that arm is really a problem it needs to not be sold anymore.

You call up Modern Performance and let them know?

epic619 · 10-20-2009, 12:39 AM

i was a few miles from home when the rod broke... 6pm i think . i spent 2 hours mad and waited for my friend to give me a ride home. so i think i got home at 9pm .

ill phone them in the morning.

talked to modern performance this morning ... its really cool of them that they are working with me on this.

like i said before im not bashing on them , just the part. breaking down on in the middle of the road sucked but i guess things could have gone worse.

what did they say they were gonna do?

epic619 · 10-20-2009, 12:32 PM

ill get a refund for the part and the will look at my repair cost and see what they can do about it when i fax it in. i should have my car back tomorrow because the shop has to special order another master.

im pretty happy so far with the way things are going.

raul-01 · 10-20-2009, 12:51 PM

Well thats good...

I wonder what their testing procedure was with their new product?

epic619 · 10-20-2009, 01:34 PM

aftermarket clutch has a different release so that why the rod broke.

im sure they will redo the arm so this doesnt happen anymore.

raul-01 · 10-20-2009, 02:13 PM

Or atleast post on their website ASAP letting people know it won't work with a aftermarket clutch setup to cause further problems.
