1955-1981 C1-C3 Clutch Fork Ball Stud Mounts in Bellhousing 3729000 - OEM Number(s) (3729000)
Shift with Confidence: 1955–1981 Corvette Clutch Fork Ball Stud – Bellhousing Mount
If your clutch pedal feels inconsistent, wobbly, or misaligned in your C1, C2, or C3 Corvette, the fix may lie deeper than worn linkage—it may be your clutch fork ball stud. The 1955–1981 Corvette Clutch Fork Ball Stud is a small but mighty component that mounts directly inside the bellhousing and supports the heart of your clutch system.
Why This Part is Essential
This ball stud serves as the pivotal mounting post for the clutch fork. As you press the clutch pedal, the fork pivots on this stud to engage and disengage the clutch assembly. Without it—or with one that’s worn down or misaligned—you risk erratic pedal feel, shifting difficulty, premature clutch wear, or total clutch failure.
Mounted securely in the bellhousing, this stud is essential for maintaining the correct pivot angle and smooth mechanical motion. This direct replacement restores the critical geometry of your clutch actuation system—helping you shift with precision, confidence, and consistency.
