Pivot with Precision: 1989–1996 Corvette C4 Clutch Fork Ball Stud – 6-Speed Manual (L98, LT1, LT4)
If your clutch pedal feels inconsistent, soft, or just not as responsive as it should be, there’s a good chance the problem is deeper than your hydraulics. The 1989–1996 Corvette C4 Clutch Fork Ball Stud is the pivot point that anchors the clutch fork inside the bellhousing, and if it's worn, loose, or missing altogether, your shifting experience will suffer. This is a critical detail that keeps your drivetrain dialed in—and your performance crisp.
Why This Part is Essential
The clutch fork ball stud serves as the pivot mount for the clutch fork, which transfers pedal motion to the pressure plate. When the ball stud is worn or damaged, it can throw off the clutch geometry, leading to erratic engagement, excessive wear on components, and difficult or incomplete disengagement.
This direct-fit replacement is designed specifically for 6-speed manual C4 Corvettes equipped with L98, LT1, and LT4 engines—restoring factory pedal feel and clutch reliability for spirited driving or everyday shifting.
