I haven't read about anyone with the stock setup having this issue. From what i understand the preassure plate is very strong and causes the plastic piston to crack.

so wait, how can you tell the difference between needing a new clutch and needing a new master cylinder? Because when my clutch went, the pedal just dropped to the floor and never came back up but my mechanic never mentioned the master cylinder.
