[Tigers] Clutch fork.... Still....

[genepadgett at comcast.net]

There is a response to a similar question on the CAT Forum a while back with a part number and source as well as info on how to modify a more frequently found fork to make it work. Never saw any response to it as to whether it worked out or not. Have a look at http://catmbr.org/VB_forum/showthread.php?t=1874&highlight=clutch+fork for the details. 

My trans and clutch are out of my car right now too. If the info in the above link does not work for you, I can make a hand drawing of the fork end with approximate dimensions and e-mail it to you if you still need it. Let me know.

I'd try Mustangs Unlimited in Connecticut.
