289 Clutch Fork Question
I have all of my clutch parts now & pretty much have everything figured out except for a piece of spring steel that is attached to the under side of the clutch fork where the pivot rides. I have the retainer spring which is a completely seperate part. This peice of steel is riveted just under the fork & runs across the point where the pivot rides. It is a 68' repo part as per ERA's spec. Can Anyone tell me what this is???

No I have a spare pivot though the pivot on the bellhousing is in great condition. This is a piece of spring steel that is on the bottom side of the fork

The clip slides into the slot in the pivot to keep it from rattling, probably an upgrade on the wire spring type that fit in the small holes in the sides of the lever. Look at the link above showing the lever pivot.

There are two clips on the end holding the bearing allready so i don't think it would be that...
What kind of reinforcement are you thinking? It seems like it would have a purpose but it doesn't seem to make any sense the way it's positioned. As you can see the pivot would set right on top of it the way it is & there isn't room for it to clamp underneath the pivot as to hold it in place.

That would make sense! I suppose then I should remove it since my pivot has no slot. & I have the spring...

Hyde: That would be one option or you could replace the existing pivot, or remove & modify the one you have. I'm not sure if the ERA clip is a better vesion of the "Spring" retainer or not?
Your call

The clip retainer isn't an ERA recomended part, neither is the attached spring clip for that matter. I also have an extra pivot but it has no slot. This leads me to want to go with the clip retainer cause' I can just cut the piece off of the fork & go. Someone please correct me if this is an inferior method...

Hyde:
Call ERA and get their read on it. Personally I have never seen one with the clip like yours, maybe it is better? It and/or the wire keep the arm in contact with the pivot so the bearing is not inadvertantly riding on the release fingers and potentially rattling.
I have the wire type and had no difficulty in 17 years???? Why mess with success?

I have the clip on mine.
It retains the arm to the bellhousing as you rattle it around putting the trans in.
The clip slides over the "L" bracket and allows the fork to pivot without sliding back anf forth.
Make sure you install the boot as well.

Over the L Bracket? You mean under it as in where it connects to the bell housing?
