Wow, glad I checked the clutch fork pivot ball
I was installing the new clutch today and I had ordered a new GM clutch fork just in case. But when I checked out the clutch fork and pivot ball, it didn't feel right. So I pulled the fork off and noticed way too many metal shavings. I then removed the pivot ball and I should say it looks more like a pivot egg! It is very worn down and uneven. I also noticed there was no clutch fork boot either! I guess a dried out pivot ball and really strong pressure plate add up to a disintegrating fork and ball. Now I have to wait and order the pivot ball and boot. Dam! I wanted to get it back up and running before the warm weather is gone.
