The clutch fork on my 89 with the Z6 trans is bent! Does anyone have a new one or a good used one available?

It's discontinued so you need to call and confirm if the part is in stock.

I talked to Jim at PTS. None are available. I also contacted several Corvette salvage yards, no luck. I then used the site that sends parts request to salvage yards in the US and Canada. No replies. There has to be some of these things floating around somewhere.

Bill gave me the same answer that I got from Power Torque Systems...none available. We ended up welding in a piece of steel to reinforce the area of the bend, then added some weld metal to the fork where it contacts the throw-out bearing. We installed the bell housing and slave cylinder to make sure we had some pre-load on the fork and it was contacting the throw-out bearing. It seems to be working so far. Long tem, we'll see.

According to Marc Haibeck who works on ZR-1's for a living, the bending or breaking of the clutch fork is due to
lack of lubrication of the pivot ball which causes high clutch pedal effort.
