Clutch fork replacement 700

Hey guys,
Does anyone know where i could find a step-by-step guide to replacing the clutch fork? or if someone could give some decent directions that would be perfect.
Also when replacing the clutch fork i need to replace the pivot point.
Quoting the faq:
"Also look at the pivot bolted to the bell housing. This rubs against the clutch fork pivot point and can get deformed. It should be smooth and round on top. If there is wear, replace it. It is easily removed with a socket (19mm I think), and the bell housing does not need to be removed to do it. When putting the clutch fork in, put some grease on the pivot point. "
whats the name of this part. Do i have to drop the tranny to do all this??



thanks guys,
Gene

Do you have hydraulic or cable operation of the clutch? One pushes the fork back, the other (cable type) pulls it forward so that the design of the fork and the position of the fulcrum pin are different. On the cable type the fulcrum is on the opposite side of the release bearing to the operating rod hole. There is a spring clip on the arm which fits into a slot in the fulcrum pin. You might manage to replace the hydraulic type fulcrum pin through the fork slot in the bell housing but you could lose a finger or two in the process. I don't think either clutch fork can be replaced without removing the transmission.

Gene,

You have to remove the tranny to get to the clutch fork and pivot. The procedure is nearly identical to that for replacing the clutch disk. The FAQ should be of some help.

And, you probably only need to lube the pivot ball with grease.
