GST 7.7 3rd gear destroyed ! Please help
Hi all
Was driving around the parking lot when suddenly the gear locked up ...
I took it apart and found the 3rd gear clutch bell was broken.
It looks like the cluth is the problem....it looks "weird"
Anyone know what happened ?
And is this a manufacturing defect ? (the car has been used for ~ 1 hour)
TIA

I would contact Cen about it and explain your situation. Maybe you were driving it hard before and the your last run it took that much more for that to break. Remember that engine is very powerful. I can see why that would break
