Clutch fork questions
Can I remove and replace my clutch fork without removing the tranny?
Need to make sure the clip is on the throwout bearing correctly

Re: Clutch fork questions
No. The fork installs from inside the bellhousing. You have to pull the tranas and bellhousing.

Re: Clutch fork questions
Thanks TKO,
I believe my fork / clip is installed worng and need to correct. I was just looking for a quick way to fix. I think I should be able to correct by just sliding the tranny back and leaving the bellhousing on. Sound right?

Re: Clutch fork questions
Yeah, you should be able to. You'll have access inside through the trans bore.

Re: Clutch fork questions
Clutch is DONE!!!! Perfect feel....just as I thought, the a$$hole before had the fork incorrectly installed on the throwout bearing. 4 hours including the time to get her up in the air....I'm feeling pretty good.

Re: Clutch fork questions
Did he have the throwout bearing on backwards or it wasn't fully on the fork?

Had the retaining clips on the outside of the bearing...supposed to be in the inside bearing race.

Re: Clutch fork questions
Yes you can. But it will tweak and ruin the clip most times. And it's a major PITA to get it back on.
So no.
