You must have had to drill and tap a new hole for the clutch fork ? No?

Yes you drill and tap for the pivot ball, to give the ball flange a flat surface to seat against I ground a washer to sit behind the flange ground to mate flat with the bell housing casting, also used some Locktight to be sure that the ball didn’t unscrew. This bell housing has been in the truck for two years now with no problems. The bell housing that it replaced was cracked so bad that I’m surprised that it was still in one piece. The new bell housing also needed to realigned that I did according to the book and reamed in new centering dowels.
