    I chipped a tiny bit of the clutch hub,can i still use it?

    while trying to tighten the clutch hub nut, i used an Allen key thou one of the small holes in the hub to try locking it.
    something gave and a small piece was chipped from the side of the hole, it happened twice.
    i can still fit the plates.
    how bad is it?

    When you put the plates back in, will it cause them to catch and stop the pushrod from being able to push them out? I would think that would be the only potential issue.

      Are the chips big enough to cause an imbalance?

        Or are they in a place where if the crack propagates further it will cause the clutch to fail?


        How about posting a few pics?

        Used clutch parts are cheap.
