Grey motor crash box fork issues

[Wookie 66]

Good morning all

I have an issue with the fork in the crash box that being what holds it in place it fits nice in place but falls out
I’m obviously missing something.

Is there a pin or clip on the inside ?

I know the fj fork is better at this point I just want to get the wagon running

Any help appreciated

Cheers

There’s a spring clip attached to the fork which holds it in place on the ball. Do you have this part?

Hi ken
Yes it’s all there I’m assuming it was suppose to be clipped in before the gear box was installed
Dammit have to pull it out

Looks like there is some type of ball that the backing clip locks onto?

Me thinks you would benefit from a workshop manual Wookie. Yes fork clips to clutch pivot ball, which wants a dab of never seize on assembly. Also on the slave cylinder rod to fork contact. There is also a coil spring which holds the fork against the slave rod, between the end of the fork and either the slave cylinder or corner of engine mount. Helps stop fork pressing on thrust bearing when no pedal depression.

Yes Wookie, unfortunately the fork has to be clipped in place before gearbox goes in.
I also agree, a workshop manual is a MUST when working on these old cars for the first time. Lubrication points all over the place when new clutch is installed and fork has been cleaned.

I have one available if you wish to purchase.

They are common FX through WB at least. About $8 on eBay.

Thanks to all I’ve worked out the problem
Don’t want to name names but some one has put the thrust bearing in upside down

And that’s all I will some on the matter
