Clutch Release Fork
I have'nt ever paid much attention to the clutch release fork in my truck before. But today I was crawling around listening for problems and fine tuning when I noticed something that seemed out of place. The clutch release fork was dancing around while the engine idled. I recently placed a new centerforce dual friction clutch between a 465 and a fresh 454. The throughout bearing is a centerforce bearing. I meticulously assembled the flywheel, disc and pressure plate to ensure it was done correctly. I am curious is this normal for a throughout fork to move around? -

Re: Clutch Release Fork
hmmm, well when it is released the fork shouldn't be touching the pressureplate, rather the bearing the fork holds sholdn't be touching. Do you have a spring holding the fork away from the PPlate? If not I would add a return spring of somekind...

Re: Clutch Release Fork
should have a return spring from fork end to frame (about 4" of spring with one end about 8 more inches to reach frame). Linkage must be modified, b/c that spring is also the only thing keeping the rod and fork together?!?!?!
pic?
