No, we've tried that once at the request of the customer who had tried to install his own clutch and failed and then brought it over and did it anyways after having him sign a quick written agreement that is what he wanted.

I cannot figure out how to post a picture from my phone but the piece in between the 2 slave cylinder posts is what broke. Now the material holding this to the bell housing is very thin. So i don't see how this would effect something very much. I did jb weld it back on. Should i use this part? I dont have $300 or what ever it takes to buy a bell housing to spend. I know if i was to do it right i should replace it but do you guys think jb weld would be a ok fix?

That must be some crazy shiznit. I bought my clutch, slave cylinder and flywheel all for $260. Transitions smooth a silk. I doubt its torque rating is very high though.

Edit: I would replace it. The clutch and transmission are right by your legs. If anything were to come loose and cause a chain reaction...you might end up with shrapnel in your legs/face.
