Son of a.... X3
For the third time, my track day was cut short due to my Monoloc popping out of the pressure plate.
1. It's possible I didn't readjust my fork stop after breaking in the new clutch.
2. Using an ACT TOB, Monoloc, and two wave washers
3. What can I do, other than welding the Monoloc to the f'ing PP?
4. Is it possible to cut a large inspection cover into the bell housing in order to snap the Monoloc back in, then machine a cover that bolts on? I can't remember if the input shaft has to come all the way out.
5. I'm told the OEM TOB tends to stay in better. I ordered one, just in case, because I'm tired of this. Any truth to this?
6. Any other ideas?
7. I'm tired of R&Ring this trans. Anyone wanna do it for me?
Thanks, in advance.

I didn't have this problem until using aftermarket TOBs that came with clutches. So that makes sense. New OEM part is on the way.
I have two used Monolocs...maybe I should try a new one. I think they sell them separately, now.
I don't think I've gotten grease on the wedge collar, but I could have accidentally. I'll keep a close eye on it.
Thanks, all! I'd click the "thanks" button, but I'm on the mobile site.

I thought that was just common knowlege to never use anything but OEM TOB? Ive had the monoloc for probably 7 years thru 3 clutches and never had one pop off. Nothing special on mine too. Just the standard 2 washers, OEM TOB, Monoloc.
When yous have popped off, isnt it possible to just pop it back in from under the car? I know itll ruin a session but should be a quick repair to get moving again.

I didn't get the TOB memo
Also ordered another Monoloc because I'm taking ZERO chances.
I've always been told the trans had to be pulled to get the collar back on. Not sure why, other than the fact that it has to pretty much be snapped in straight and flat. It goes on easy enough, though.
If I could have fixed it trackside and towed it home for nothing, I'm gonna be a lil upset LOL
Either way I sure am not looking forward to R&Ring again....at least this should be my last time *knocking on wood*
