So i've found my clutch slipping issue. My clutch fork and ball are so worn i'm surprised i can actually drive at all. Anyone have a decent one? Or know where i can buy new items?
P.M me please, So i can sort this out and finally and put it on the dyno.

Tell us the price son!!!
I fear it may be your only option. Any second hand ones will be worn as well and you'll be wasting your time fitting it.

Can you get the old one welded up and ground back to take up up the wear?

You probably don't want to hear this, but I've thrown about 3 of these things out over the past couple of years.
Like most things on Starions, you can't give them away, then when you want something, you have to pay silly money for it because it's so rare.

I've often just removed the ball (14mm tube socket) and placed a 1-2mm washer underneath. Seems to do the trick.

^ As previously suggested to you Shannon.
It's a bit tricky for space but you don't even have to remove the box!

Thanks for the suggestions guys, but i was going to get the fork welded, and shim the ball as a last option if i can't find another item. The ball is almost non existant, so i doubt shimmimg will fix it.
FYI mitsu want $279 retail for the fork, and the ball is obsolete.

Time to google and ebay
Part # MD703275.
