CLUTCH (pivot stud) help

[RydeOn]

Guys. I am doing a replacement of an OEM clutch in my bros stock 92 lx...oops crap, I mean my cobra

My question is, how many shims for the stock pivot stud in the bellhousing? When I replaced the stud, I noticed 2 rather thick lockwashers stacked together, but ignored it and installed the trans. But now I am second guessing wether this came bone stock from the factory like that. I did a search and I couldn't find anything but a picture of the stud installed with no washers and shims at all, so now I am really doubting its together correct. I can pull the T5 real quick since its just sitting on the crossmember at the moment, but I need to know the correct way to install the pivot stuff before I finish out the project.

There should not be any washers much less stacked washers on the pivot ball stud in a stock bellhousing...... I would remove the washers and put it back the factory correct way.

I have seen people have to do it on some aftermarket bellhousing to get a clutch fork issue resolved.

There shouldnt be any washers... more than likely someone did that to help stop a chattering clutch, or one that was worn....

Just reinstall the pivot knub without washers behind it. Make sure you use a new TOB from Ford as well
