well this morning i pulled out of my drive, and pushed the clutch in to shift from 3rd to 4th, and i heard a loud popping noise and the clutch pedal pressure decreased by half. got home tonite and pulled the tranny (which sucked by the way with no air tools), and to my surprise, one of the pressure plate fingers had broken. is this one of the normal wear and tears of the clutch after long terms of abuse?

I'm amazed by the fact that you could simply drive home and then take out your tranny...that would have to be a weekend project for me...and even then I'd make sure I had a backup car for the following week 'just in case'.
