Guys,
This is for an '87 truck with a 5spd, 4wd factory tranny:
I swapped out to a different factory tranny and in the process lost 1 of the 2 small clips that go up by the throwout bearing in the bellhousing. This was on my spare tranny, but now I can't find the clip to make my spare complete.
Where can I find one? (old one's nowhere to be found)

Anybody have any ideas??

Thanks,
Duane in GA

 

dealer... i rarely use em and have never had a problem

 

Any other ideas?

 

maybe in the wanted section of the classifieds pretty sure they are a dealer only item new

 

He's right...dealer only. They're cheap, though.

 

Make one. A few years back a guy in our Moab trip had a tranny problem that turned out to be a missing clip (clutch was stuck out of engagement). He used the remaining one to fashion a replacement out of a s/s band clamp from an auto parts store. Cut and bent the clamp steel to match and it worked fine. I'll bet he is still running that clip today, 6 years later.

 

I've got one laying around here some where. PM me if you still need it.
