Title: Best FE Clutch Fork, Pivot Ball, Adjustable Linkage Rod, Spring Kit ?
Post by: 427HISS on October 02, 2018, 05:35:43 PM

Need everything for the clutch. High quality, no thin cheap junk !  (especially the fork)

Also, is there a direct fit fork/bell boot for the QuickTime bell ?
Just Called Summit and QuickTime/Holley,....says "racing cars don't need boots".   THANKS,... QuickTime !!! ?   ::)

Sorry but, that mentaility SUCKS !   >:(   

So us guys that have performance car's and have safer sreel bellhousings on the street and/or race, don't want to keep the clutch & flywheel clean of debris, water etc ?

 I didnot find a listing for a pivot ball version so far but I
 had one American PowerTrain shipped by accident. In that case it appeared to use a regular boot but I did not fit one.

I can't remember the exact part, but the last time I needed a boot, I bought a shifter boot that I thought would work from Dorman and modified it. Worked well.

Do you buy your adjusting rod or fab up one ?

Who has the highest quality throw out bearing ?

Clutch fork - any reputable transmission vendor, then weld a piece of flat bar down the inside of the concave side to stiffen up, if quick shifting is desired
pivot ball - in the linkage or in the bell?  Either way, I've always gone with fresh OEM parts in these areas, with no issues.
adjustable linkage - I made my own, and bought heim joints/lock nuts to put on each end.  This was a vast improvement in my case.  Half hour project if you have the material on hand.  I used 3/8"  threaded heims and bought a LH die so I could adjust it without unbolting one end.
