Is this gasket safe to use? I received it in my order from minispares and It was folded over in the box to fit it in and has a slight crack :-(
Its the one that goes between the clutch housing area and engine

I wouldn't want to use that, it's not right. I'd get on the phone/PM Simon and get it sorted with a new one. That may seal fine at first but could lead to premature gasket failure.

As above because its such a major gasket to replace, I'd be getting another one for piece of mind, it may be ok or not, but you'd kick yourself if it became a problem down the road.

Depends on where on the gasket that hole is. If it's one of the upper fastenings I wouldn't worry, if at the bottoms then get it replaced.

It should not have been folded to fit it in the box, demand a replacement.
