Default Grease Clutch Fork...does it actually come out?

I want to grease up my clutch fork...I'm supposed to grease these 3 points (image below)

I pull the slave, pull the boot, and there will be the clutch fork. Some say that you just 'pull it toward the rear of the car and it will come out'...is that true?

Others say that you can use a bbq skewer and reach it up to grease the 3 point

I can't find any video or photos of this actually being done...can anyone share how to best do this?

Its not going to help your shifting issues.

But yes you can pull it out to grease it. When you do the clutch, the fork goes in after you bolt the trans up.

The fork can be disengaged from its pivot, but it will not come out.

Disengage it, and grease the two fork tips.

Do not grease the shaft, it remains stationary in the mount.

Greasing the fork tips and the ball end of the slave has a major effect on clutch pedal feel. And for some, that helps shifting.

it is good to do, but mainly just stops the squeaking that occurs over time.

It also can cut pedal effort to less than half.

If your clutch pedal feels heavy, this is likely the reason.

Take a file and go over the slave pushrod, make sure its smooth to the touch.

Top tip, slave rod fits in drill chuck. Can use file, then fine scotch pad, polish it as drill does all the work.
