Is part of this clip broken off? It looks like there should be a piece that slides through the rectangular bracket inside the bell housing to keep it in place.

I think you need a new one, it looks like the end of your spring broke off. You might be able to get the spring over the clutch pivot with a screw driver but not the best solution. Here is the picture of one I just bought to fix my clutch.

No good.

The tab sits in the indent in the fork. You are missing an inch or so of spring.

Don't buy a repop. Most of the forks are too short and don't hold the throw out bearing quite right. They probably will work, but the originals work so much nicer and installation is easier.

Yes, the whole crew will be there so we will have to take turns driving Burnie.

I didn’t do a lot of checking around but I got all my parts in two days which is saying something.

You were right. Do you have a source for one that matches the original?
