Manual Transmission help

elk_hunter · May 2, 2005

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.

the fork pivots on this ball stud. And on the stud was a spacer and this nut.

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

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.

Found the part after searching online, and at the dealer. Part was $1.50.

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??

Thanks for all the help on this issue. truck is not back up and running fine

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.

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.

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.
