not sure about the fork#, but do you have the orange sheet with the instructions for the clutch fork pivot ball? Good chance you will need to use an adjustable pivot ball or you won't be able to adjust your clutch pedal properly...... like mine :( MJ

I have done a couple thing to help eleviate that situation. My first attempt was to use sheet metal strips as 'shims' between the stud and fork which worked well for a while but they wore through. I then removed the 4 'shims' I was using and replace them with a metal bar about 1/8th to 1/4 inch thick. I'll measure it tonight and post the exact thickness. I cut it about 8 to 10 inches long. The key is too let the fork hang free and bend the two outside ends of the bar that you are going to insert into the area just a little to form kind of a 'U' shape. This allows the bar to nestle into the forks natural curve. Once past the stud, they also hold the bar in place. Use a zip tie to keep it from popping out. Put your rubber boot on and you are good to go. It created more adj on the clutch shaft where before I was right at the end with way too much pedal travel. This is a short term fix but much better than pulling the trans. :yesnod:
