Got a clutch fork. With the tab.... um. How does it intall? Please hurry thanks!

 

it clips on the pivot point in bell housing...with the clutch rod end sticking out through the hole. then throw out bearing clips to the other end...

 

 

manual clutch fork and throw out bearing

 

OP failed to mention the year or the engine size. OP's "About Me" profile says 1979 F150.

If the engine is a 351M or 400, it does not have this type of clutch release lever bracket.

Plus, in 1979...there were TWO different bell housings, TWO different clutch forks, one type of fork uses a clutch pivot that clips to it.

 

Thanks ND So what bell housings were available for the F150 in 79? Do you have the pic break down ?

 

This is the only pic.

1979: There are two different 7C508 clutch release lever ball pivot seats, 351M or 400. Two different 7548 throw out bearings, 351M or 400. Two different 7515 clutch forks, 351M or 400.

The 351M/400 7505 bell housing is the same 1977/78, 1979 before serial number DG0,001. 1979 351M/400 from serial number DG0,001 is different.

1977 all I-6 and V8's have the clutch release lever bracket (not shown in pic), 1978/79's do not.

 

Thanks again ND for the info

 

Sorry I was in a rush yesterday. The bell house is for a 79 with a 302 2wd, with a granny low manual, the cluck fork. Has a tab behind it. Does the clip into the piece shown in the above bellhouse?the previous one that came off has the tab sheared off. If I do clip it in the fork doesn't seem to reach the middle of the transmission and grab the throwout bearing . I wish I could post pictures.

 

This should be the fork .. Thanks to Bill and Mike .. Is this what you have?
DOTZ-7515-A .. Clutch Fork = 1970/76 240/300/302/360/390 / 1977/79 300/302 // 1977/78 351M/400 / 1979 351M/400 before serial number DG0,001.

 

Yup! That's the fork I have! Does the clip slip on to latch on the bellhouse?

 

Yep, that's correct

 

It will look like it wont reach once clipped in but what you will find is that when assembled, it will reach. The two prongs of the fork apply pressure to about the centerline of the throw out bearing so it can pivot.
