Hey,

 

Was helping my dad take replace his clutch on his 92 GMC sierra truck. Got the tranny out, replace the clutch. and was ready to put this back in. Well somehow my dad misplaced/lost the push pin type nut that goes on to keep the clutch arm in place inside the bell housing.

 

Anyone know what type of nut this was? ( I never saw this, he removed it and put on the new bearing).

 

wish I had a better example of this . I can get a pick of what i'm talking about if it would help.

 

Thanks.

Not a clue what you're talking about. If that link at the bottom of your post was supposed to be a photo of it, it doesn't work.

Maybe he is refering to a push on speed nut or "spring" clip.

And where would this be? The only thing I can think of with the older clutches that use a fork is the ball stud that the fork pivots on. I can't picture any sort of nut inside the bellhousing that has to do with the fork, but it has been some time since I did one of these.

And a while for me too. I did not know if you had access to a IPB (Illistrated Parts Breakdown) of his installation availible to you on line. (I used to via a All Data account but I no longer do) Last one I did had a spring clip that held it on but never had a 92 tranny of that type setup out myself.

the fork pivots on this ball stud. And on the stud was a spacer and this nut. I never saw it(hate when the father does stuff when i'm not around, and then i end up looking forever trying to find what he lost/broke). When he took it off, said he used a nut driver to screw it off. and wasn't much more then a washer with threads.

 

I'm guessing is just a speed washer and nothing special, but at the local stores around here the dont have the size we need...packets have a 1/8 which is too small, next size is too big.

 

Not sure what the point of that is, it doesn't look as if has any pressue on that area, it just moves on the ball stud.

 

I'll try to get my dad to take a picture of it. I wasn't able to find a parts diagram online to place here.

I can't picture what this is and where it goes. A photo would be nice.

Here is a image of the location that i was talking about.  it's #10 on this parts diagram.  Even though it is not a spring??

 

Wow, guess I never saw one like that. Just a retainer to keep the fork from falling off the ball I'd say. Used to be that there were spring fingers that slipped behind the ball and held the fork in place.

      Light Up the Trail From Above: 50" PRO for the Hummer EV

      By mandrautomotive · Posted

      Hey everyone,   For anyone looking at roof-mounted lighting for the Hummer EV, we wanted to share our M&R Automotive 50" PRO Roof Light Bar for the 2022+ GMC Hummer EV.   The curved 50" bar sits close to the windshield rather than sticking way up above the roofline. The mounting position is designed to keep the setup relatively streamlined while minimizing wind noise and maintaining full use of the factory windshield wipers.   A few details:   50" curved PRO light bar Fits 2022–2026 GMC Hummer EV Spot + driving beam pattern TIR optics White main beam Amber DRL backglow Approximately 15,410 measured lumens through the lens Mounts to factory accessory locations No cutting or drilling required Wiring runs down the A-pillar toward the AUX connections Designed to minimize wind noise Lifetime warranty Off-road use only     The 50" is an interesting middle ground for anyone who wants the visibility and mounting position of a roof bar without stepping all the way up to the larger 60" setup. For the Hummer EV owners here, would you go with the 50" for the lower-profile look or step up to the full 60"?

      Yeah, I've given up years ago with that! I was able to load a few when I first joined the site sometime around '07. Then after maybe 20 pics, it said I exceeded the limit. Now every pic I try to post says I've "exceeded 1mb".   ONE MB??? That's Windows 95 ******, lol!!

      I get the same results with pictures. Then I figure it out. Then I forget. Screw it.

      I guess I'm the only one on this forum who can't get effing pics to load here! Do you have to resize them to post, or am I just blocked from uploads?   I have the same luck with automotive electronics ... but this is the ONLY site on the net that I have this problem!   I'd post pics of what I'm working on ... but I CAN'T! 🤬       Just fabbed up the kickdown cable (had to extend the cable mount WAAAY out from the throttle shaft to get a full pull), and parts arrived for the fuel lines on the 940 carb conversion project. Should be able to drive this thing by the end of the day. If not for work, I'd have had this thing done SIX weeks ago.   Got the jetting sorted out last week. Had a real bad tip-in bog that I couldn't seem to correct. Friggin float height was over 11mm too HIGH! eBay purchase, so no wonder everything is screwed up right out of the box! I ended up with a larger dual-squirt accelerator pump jet anyway instead of the single. Also moved the 70 primary idle jet (4 sizes too big out of the box) to the secondary idle circuit, and installed a 57 in the primary. Runs great on the fuel bottle!    Still using the computer for ignition. Going to drive it first and see if I want to go through the project of installing an intermediate shaft with a distributor drive gear, so I can install a block-mounted distributor and run points, 100% computer free. I should do that anyway just from a simplicity / reliability / tunability standpoint. The electronics left me stranded last year a couple times! I can't tweak the timing to my liking right now because of the computer. Tried twisting the cam-driven distributor already ... and the damned thing just reverts back to where it was! That's infuriating. But if it runs well enough I might save that for next season.   Just driving it in and out of the shop to work on other projects, it feels 1,000% more responsive with the carburetor. Also fires MUCH faster when cranking. Can't wait to drive it and see if I got more than 114 ponies, lolol.   Hopefully these don't go 404 like the last post ... https://postimg.cc/gallery/MjhrmZS   Seems like that site went back to dial-up internet! Maybe they'll fix that some day ...
