CLUTCH FORK PIVOT BALL AND PIVOT BRACKETS
6. Determine if your installation requires a pivot ball or pivot
bracket for the clutch fork. If you are using a hydraulic bearing
release set up, proceed to step number 7.
GM APPLICATIONS (Chevy, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick) Most
bellhousings for GM applications include a pivot ball for the
clutch fork located in the bellhousing on the driver’s side.
CHRYSLER/MOPAR APPLICATIONS Most bellhousings for
Chrysler applications include two-pivot brackets for the clutch
fork. One for “A” body vehicles and one for “B”or”E” body
vehicles. Select the bracket that is correct for your application
and mount inside the bellhousing using the two-button head cap
screws supplied.
FORD APPLICATIONS Some bellhousings for Ford applications
include both a pivot ball located on the passenger side for cable
operated clutch forks, and two-pivot brackets for mechanical
clutch fork operation. One that is used with a “spring” style
clutch fork and one that is used with a “wire” style clutch fork.
If your installation requires the use of a pivot bracket, you will not
need the pivot ball and it should be removed. Select the bracket
that is for your application and mount inside the bellhousing
using the two-button head cap screws supplied. Note: A spacer
measuring .600” thick is included for installations where the
clutch fork pivot bracket needs to be located closer to the clutch
assembly.
ADAPTER/REDUCER RINGS
7. Some GM, FORD AND CHRYSLER/MOPAR installations will
require the use of an adapter/reducer ring for the bearing
collar on the transmission so that it fits securely into the
bellhousing. Adapter/reducer rings are included where
necessary. Determine the correct adapter/reducer ring
required for your installation by fitting it onto the transmission
bearing collar and then inserting it into the bellhousing
transmission mounting flange.
NOTE: Some transmissions will fit directly into the
bellhousing without the need of an adapter/reducer and no
rings are included. The 6-speed T-56/Magnum transmissions
do not require an adapter/reducer ring.
8. Position your bellhousing over the flywheel/clutch assembly
and slide onto dowel pins in engine block. Fasten the
bellhousing to the engine block using the grade 8 bolts
supplied. Make sure the fasteners supplied have the same
thread size/pitch as the factory threads. Secure the blockplate
to the bellhousing using the grade 8 bolts, lock washers and
nuts supplied.
IMPORTANT: All fasteners must be used in their proper
location for the bellhousing to meet S.F.I. specification 6.1
NOTE: All fasteners for the engine side or transmission side
should be torqued between 35 and 45 ft/lbs to maintain
parallelism. It is more important that they are all torqued the
same more than whether it is 35 or 45 ft/lbs.
9. Replace starter motor, transmission and driveshaft.
10. Attach clutch linkage if applicable and check for proper
adjustment.
11. Reconnect battery.
