Hi Bob,

I did reference the drawing in the manual and also measured the 8" to center, as stated in the manual so think I'm good there.

Thanks for your help this morning, the drawing you sent helped us determine that the clutch fork pivot point was not correct and was indeed off roughly 1/4". The fix was to put the pivot bracket in a press and press some of the "L" shape out of it, which effectively moved the pivot point out the 1/4" needed. After that the fork and throwout bearing worked smoothly. The guy helping with this ran a weld along the bend in the bracket just in case bending it weakened it.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Kevin
