Hi,
A 1981 F 150 Inline 6 4 Speed Manual On The Floor. Manual Clutch. I Changed Th Ethrowout Bearing. I Was Having A Very Difficult Time Putting Truck In Gear. Would A Worn Throw Out Cause A Difficult Time Engaging In Gear? Lastly, I Put The T/o Bearing On The Clutch Fork. On The Clutch Fork There Are 2 Holes 1/2 Way Down. Is There A Pin That I Ssupposed To Go There? The Book (chiltons ) Did Not Specify One And I Did Not See It When Removing.
I Know This Was Explained To Me Yesterday, But I Am Not Mechanically Inclined . When I Press The Clutch In, This Causes The T/ O To Press Against The Clutch Plate. The Clutch Plate And Flywheel Then Spin In Tandem. Am I Correct?
How Does This Affect The Transmission? I Do Not See The Connection
Please Help

I dont know about a pin there. The clutch worked before you did the main seal? Now you put in a new throwout bearning... Sounds like the fork isn't pushing far enough on the throwout bearing to disengage the friction disc, causing the trans to still be spinning some when you try to shift it.
When you press the clutch pedal in, the fork pushes on the throwout bearing. This disengages the friction disc. The flywheel spins with the pressure plate cause they're bolted together. The friction disc is splined to the trans input shaft. That is the connection between the transmission and the flywheel/pressure plate. When the friction disc is spinning with the flywheel, the trans is spinning too. Pushing on the clutch pedal allows the trans input shaft to stop spinning so the trans can be shifted.
