long story short, my friend had his clutch replaced by dealer, it went out by slipping horribly in 2 months. we were going to replace it today and went to dig in and we found this inbetween the slave cylinder push rod and the clutch fork

 

he had the slave and master replaced by the dealer too, im saying this caused the failure and to go to the dealer and complain, what do you think?

 

It is part of the assembly, it belongs there, it did not cause the failure.

 

it does belong their,mine has it to... i think my master cylender is goin out to,my clutc wont release or engage
