LT1 T56 Shift Fork T-Pivot Install Help

I just installed my LT1 T56 and realized that I forgot to install the little T-pivot piece that the clutch fork pivots on.

I'm really trying to avoid dropping the transmission again to install this little part!

Here's the part I need to install:

You have to install the fork at the same time. And the fork is going to cockblock tool access in the best of circumstances.
