New question!

Is this clutch fork riding on this T.O. bearing correctly, or should it fit further in so that the fork arms hug the bearing a bit more?

If I unbolted the pivot tab, and turned it around I believe the fork would move closer to the bearing.

I just want to make sure I'm installing it correctly. Thanks.

The fork ends should be centered on the bearing. Also the clips are on backwards. The fork should be between the round part of clip and bearing. Clips should secure bearing to fork. The clips might be what is causing misalignment.

Does anyone have a source for just the clips? Or does one have to buy a new fork to get them?

The clips come with the throw out bearing not the fork.

All you need to do is pull the fork out, rotate the throw out bearing 180 degrees, and slide the fork back in. The clips on the throw out bearing should hold to fork to it.

The fingers should center on the throw out bearing, I'm guessing your fork just needs to slide into the pivot bracket further and will work out once you have the clips set up right. If not you may have the wrong bracket. They are specific to the bellhousing that you're using.

Ok before I reinstall the fork, do I have the pivot bracket mounted in the correct direction? I'm not sure if the fingers will reach the center of the ears of the bearing.

I do see how the clips work now, thank you.


So is the pivot bracket correctly mounted?

Thanks
