Message	123:Most likely your pivot ball or clutch fork broke.....I have also seen the T/O bearing collars wear where the fork fits on and spin. :I very unlikely the sport street is having a problem.... :RPS is always trying to make the best products and they stand behind them...... :Other brands never offer sprung hub 6 pucks because the force of a 6 puck chatter can easily break springs..... :So1lid hub 6 pucks plain suck! :RPS did a lot of R&D with springs to get something to work.....in the process there were a few that had problems.... :These were all made quite some time ago. :Now the RPS 6 puck material is so smooth there is almost no chatter at all. :Jumping to a conclusion on a pubic board is extremely unfair without knowing the facts, I have seen springs break in the disc's on every brand available on cars that are launched hard.....To say this is an RPS problem is crazy! :It is possible your disc has a broken spring , but it is even more likely your pivot ball or fork is broken. :If you do ending up having a problem with your RPS sport Street it will be the first one! :Greg the RPS is a very finnicky install. it may require multiple sessions on jackstands to get right. it may require a weekend of test and tune to get actuation right. if it were 1/2 the cost of comparable products, it would be a non-issue. but it's not. thats just how i see things. I know rob(?) puts his heart and sole into his products, and I know he stands 100% behind his products. However, the downtime and finnicky-ness of the product needs to be considered. (isn't the clutch master cylinder also too weak for the RPS? i thought that was a recent issue as well)
