Adjustable height pivot ball allows adjusting the clutch fork for best alignment of the release bearing against the pressure plate's diaphragm fingers.
Why would I need this instead of the stock pivot ball?
An improperly aligned clutch fork can increase the amount of pedal throw required to release the clutch. It can also cause damage to other components, such as the input shaft retainer, the throw-out bearing, the clutch fork, and even the pressure plate.
Clutch fork realignment is required:
- Sometimes after a flywheel is resurfaced
- For the installation of most multiple disk clutch kits
- When swapping in a non-stock bellhousing
- When swapping to an OEM transmission from another model
- When installing an aftermarket transmission
Both the pivot ball and the clutch fork should be inspected for wear any time they are accessible. The surfaces where the pivot ball and clutch fork meet should be round, without any flat spots. If either item is worn, it should be replaced.
- Made of a special steel alloy.
- May be used as an OEM replacement for Mustang transmissions.
- This adjustable pivot ball should accompany any clutch system that changes the fore and aft location of the pressure plate fingers from the stock location.
- Included with the McLeod Magnum Force clutches.
