I got a new OEM clutch pivot ball stud and fork.
Installed after putting new synchros in the trans. Made an awful noise if I wasn't pressing in the clutch, so bad I could feel it in the pedal. Removed to find orange paint and fresh exposed metal on the clutch fork.
Have both koyo and nsk 3.0 release bearings on hand.
Flywheel is orileys. Clutch kit is clutch masters all 3.4 fitment.
3.0 r150f
Using TD conversion vw engine adapter to make my motor look like a 3.0/3.4
I have two other clutch forks. Luckily I have a spare bell I can test fit without the transmission attached.
The new clutch fork and one of the old ones hit no matter what ball stud is used (1 new and two used). All ball studs are within a few thousands of each other.
One older clutch fork that doesn't hit is shaped just a little different barely clears, I think it's from a w56. The two for the r150 hit.
Running both aisin clutch masters and slaves yet these hit with no slave attached and just a bell housing (no trans attached)
Anyone run into this issue with clutch fork and pressure plate interference?
T Transmissions keep eating synchros (4 -5 times now). I noticed once warm if I put it in 4 low, rev the engine to about 3k in 1st or 3rd I can feel a grab. Not consistent or enough to move me but still a grab. Replacing the fork/ball in hopes of a little more throw. Tired of removing transmissions. Takes 4 to 6 months before I have weird issues like not wanting to shift into 4th or 1st. Reverse, never an issue.
