This is my bell housing for my 200 ci Ford inline six that I installed in my Falcon 12 years ago, the release bearing fork, and a metal clip that fell out from some place and I didn't notice where from. The engine and trans were pulled from a '70 Maverick and were the big bolt pattern motor with the big V8 3 speed transmission but mated to the 200 six by the factory.
My first question is, with that release bearing fork in place, isn't there anything holding that fork in place or does it just sit there with nothing holding it?
The Falcon manual I have shows a wire spring piece but that is for a '64 Falcon and what I have here is a 1970 Ford Maverick set up with a heavy duty 3 speed top loader trans, not the small peanut trans, so maybe things are different?
I don't recall any spring holding this in place when I installed this new fork 12 years ago.
Any insights?
Next, what is that little spring(?) clip I'm holding in my hand, where does it go? As mentioned, it just fell out when I was moving stuff around to clean it before reinstalling it all.
In one photo I'm holding that spring clip over the bearing release fork wondering if it fits somewhere around there, does anybody know?
Thank you
