[Fot] Its Opinion Tyme Again...

I would put my money on the suggestion of Phil Gott about the crankshaft thrust washers : if one of these thrust washer has fallen out, the crankshaft can move for- and afterwards : this can easily be checked by moving the crankshaft pulley with large screwdrivers: when the thrust washer has fallen out, the pulley(and the crankshaft with it) can be moved by one or 2 mm.

Nick, 
My other suggestion would have been to try a smaller master cylinder. I have a similar setup with Tilton dual discs and went to a larger .75 master, because my pedal movement was too far! But you’ve already tried that one!

Was it all in good working order and then it just got funky or did anything lead up to it? 
It sounds like a heck of a shock load to break a gear, hard to believe that it's a friction surface issue, sounds more mechanical.

OK, so I've had a weird problem with the clutch on The Duke of Oil (TR4A). It suddenly started acting like an off/on switch with no chance of slippage to get goin. The engagement was so sudden that it broke a side gear in the locker. Upon review everything appeared well within spec. I changed the clutch disc. transmission input shaft and changed the throwout bearing sleeve. No dice...same issue. 
Got it apart again and have changed everything...disc, pressure plate, bearing, crankshaft bush, cross shaft bushings, clutch hose, clutch slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder...pedal assembly seems smooth without any binding. Have also double pinned the throwout fork to the cross shaft. 

SO...any thoughts? 

Also have pinned the throwout bearing flange so that it will not spin on the sleeve. Anybody else pin the flange, or do you let it turn on the sleeve? Why/why not?
