ZF5 Info for Clutch Fork
Mine was Trashed, I pulled my trans just to replace it.
It's the part that the clutch fork pivots on.
E7TZ7B602A .. Clutch Release Lever Stud
Obsolete parts vendor (it's not obsolete) GREEN SALES CO. in Cincinnati OH = one eight hundred -543-4959
I ordered mine from here.
There are a few dealerships that have them as well, but good luck.
If you take the trans out, make sure you grease this part. It should be round, not looking like a bicycle helmet. Mine had metal tear on it from never being greased again. Glad I replaced the fork, but I didn't think anything about the part it pivots on.
So, if you have your trans out, to change the clutch or anything, make sure you check on this part. It will effect how the throwout bearing operates.

These pictures show the wear on the part, you can see that the metal is scored and warn away and the pivot point is not round any longer.
Seeing as my shearing gear runs on the same setup, I know slight wear can cause lots of effects on how the clutch engages and disengages.
The scoring of the metal also doesn't look so good. This is after I had cleaned it up the first time I pulled the trans.
It doesn't thread in as you can see in previous pictures.
I had to heat the unit up with the torch and twist it out with vice grips, and it was tough then. Grease is basically holding it in with a vacuum.
I used a dead blow hammer to seat the new one.

Yeah it does, that's what mine sounds like... It makes that creaking sound as the fork pivots on the stud when pushing the clutch in.

There's really no point in starting a new thread for a creaking sound, when the question was pretty much answered with one post... Besides, it's relevant to what you originally posted anyway, since it's a worn stud and clutch fork that causes it...
