Drivetrain Clutch Fork Pivot: Lock Washer?

Nutty 5.o · Aug 13, 2017

Replacing my clutch and got a new clutch fork and pivot ball. It had a lock washer under the pivot ball. I don't recall there supposed to one being there.
Can anyone confirm which is right as I'm concerned if screwing up the pedal feel Dir to added length, etc.

I believe people use a washer to change the pivot angle of the fork.
Mine is that way as suggested by the guy at promotion, but I really don't know if it truly works.

Thanks. I'm guessing it won't hurt but was hoping there was more comments on this.

As an update, after a lot of searching, apparently there IS supposed to be this lock washer there.

Pulled the pivots off two bellhousings I have to find a good one.

Both had a single lock washer underneath.

What size is it? I blew the stud in half and lost it

Kinda vague the way you have stated that so what size it what? Assuming you are asking about the lock washer?

My 83 had a lock washer... Don't reuse it, get a new one.... ALWAYS use a new split lock washer... They wear out...

What are you referring to by "it" the lock washer?

I'll have to measure when I get a chance.

Take the pivot to your local hdwe store and buy the one that fits it......I might use a grade 8......

Appears this is 7/16-14 threaded, so you would need a 7/16 split lot washer

Forgot the thickness.

So a little over 1/8” thick. Not sure how precise that needs to be
