im in the middle of doing this now.... on the release bearing there are 2 little lips, one either side, which I can only assume jam into the fork and hold it in place..... what I dont get it that you cant fit the fork to release bearing before putting the tranny on cos it fouls the bellhousing. so it needs to hang through the bellhousing, but not be mounted onto the hangar until its all mounted up, right???
but when its mounted up theyres no way of getting those 2 lips to fasten onto the fork-sure I can get the fork onto the release bearing and hangar, but it wont sit tight (wont jam on the lips as the bearing simply spins when you push the fork on)-what are the 2 lips on the bearing for otherwise?????

 

??

Its a pull type clutch. Bearing goes behind the pp.

You put the fork in the rectangle hole of the trans, not engaged. Then bolt up the trans.

Then the pivot of the fork clips into the bracket in the bellhousing, and the fork fingers just sit in the bearing.

It does not force fit or clip the bearing in any way.

Those two bumps are there to keep that part of the bearing from spinning.

So put it together, and dont even concern yourself with those two bumps on the bearing. They will find their position and do their job automatically.

 

thanks mate! I can always rely on you for the answer
