1962 clutch linkage
Does anyone know if you have to use a different clutch fork other than a 1962 fork if you change the stock 1962 spring pressure plate and a 10.4 flywheel, with a diaphragm pressure plate and an 11" flywheel. It appears to have about an 11/2 adjustment left at the swivel but won't adjust any further. Thanks in advance Phil

Re: 1962 clutch linkage
Don't know about an 11 inch pressure plate but with a ten an a half inch plate with diaphragm clutch you use the same fork. Are you sure the fork is on the throw out bearing correctly? When you say it won't adjust any further, does the clutch work? Are you adjusting it according to the ST-12 manual? You don't want the swivel out at the end. Need a little more info. -

Terry and Phil------
If the same fork will work with a 10-1/2" diaphragm pressure plate, then it should work with an 11" diaphragm pressure plate. C2 and C3 Corvettes used the same fork, release bearing and clutch rods regardless of whether a 10-1/2" or 11" diaphragm pressure plate was installed. So, the same principle should hold for C1. I realize, of course, that no C1 ever originally used a diaphragm-type clutch but if the 10-1/2" diaphragm-type will work, then, as I say, the 11" diaphragm type ought to work, too. However, the one "fly-in-the-ointment" might be if it's a stock configuration diaphragm pressure plate (i.e. the same configuration as the C2 and C3 10-1/2" and 11" pressure plates). If it's some sort of aftermarket configuration, then who knows?In Appreciation of John HinckleyComment
