long story short. i did a clutch install and now just like other stories i have read my fork over travels and hits the PP. Mechanic said i should replace both Fork pivot and clutch fork. got the pivot, only problem is the fork is impossible ot find

Ed K

Yeah, I need one too!

Were you able to find a source?

Might try these folks----www.thegearbox.org/t56.html (the gear box transmissions,LLC.) Hope this helps.

Ed K

Thank you.

The store is closed through end of this week. But when I look up the part the website indicates that it's back ordered and not available.

I am getting pretty desperate. My buddy said he can have it welded back together but I don't think there's much room around the part to allow for that and it might bind.

Any other possible suggestions?

Thanks

Fatdog2

What state are you in? Is the part # 12523312?

Fatdog2

Also might try here. GM 12523312 Fork - GM genuine OEM part
12523312,fork-gm part
they show 33 places in the U.S. that may have it.
Hope this helps.

Just saw one on e-bay at Shop Eddies for $20.00 shipped.Made by a company called Pioneer.

Ed K

Thanks FD...the part number on the part is:

Borg Warner 13-86-096-907-B

I believe it's actually made by Tremec, part number 1386-596-004

Seems these are impossible to find...

Ed K

FD, appears the OEM number you referenced may be correct, but I cannot find the part on eBay you found.... What search criteria should I use? Thanks.

Ed K

Tried several of the 33 places listed and they don't have it although the web says they do...

But if it's on eBay, pls provide more info...I can't find it. Thanks FD.

Borg Warner made them until 1997, when the T56 business and manufacturing facilities were sold to Tremec.

Have you checked this source:

Buy Camaro/Firebird V8 LT1 T-56 Clutch Release Fork New motorcycle in Easley, South Carolina, US, for US $95.00

Pioneer makes replacement parts, including clutch forks. Did a search on "ebay shop eddies" and everything that turned up look like simple stamped parts, not for the pull-back LT1 T56 clutch design. But maybe I missed it. There is a Pioneer CF-100 that indicates it fits the 4th Gen LT1's, but I'm a little suspcious that it fits over 1,000 models of Chevrolets, and a bunch of other GM cars.

Pioneer/Clutch Fork CF-100 at AutoZone.com

We have discussed this part:

Thanks Fred...

I checked the first one that has the right pic, but when I try to order it is says out of date...and there is no number to call.

You are correct about AutoZone, their cross reference is wrong, because I bought the part they said was a match and it did not fit...

Fatdog2

shopeddies #24832 vendor-----------it's a pioneer #cf100 clutch fork.
But listen to Injuneer and see if this picture is the exact same as yours.Good luck.

Ed K

Thanks FD, but the Pioneer is the same that Autozone offers, and it's actually for the V6 engine.

Ed K

Going to plan B: weld the one that snapped back together...
