Chevrolet Metro Clutch Fork

The Chevrolet Metro Clutch Fork is the vital lever that converts pedal pressure into smooth gear changes by pushing the release bearing against the pressure plate. In original designs, the Metro Clutch Fork works in conjunction with either a hydraulic or a cable linkage, both of which convert the motion of the foot into forward thrust on the bearing housed inside the bell housing. Hydraulic setups put the Clutch Fork in combination with a master and slave cylinder that delivers fluid force along a line, providing self-adjustment and a uniform feel, whereas the less sophisticated cable system pulls directly on the Clutch Fork via a steel cable that can be adjusted manually at the lever end. Earlier rear-drive models in other cases preferred pushrod connections, but the Metro remained with compact hydraulic or cable layouts that were compatible with its transverse drivetrain. Regardless of linkage, the fork's pivot should not be broken since cracks or wear can prevent full bearing travel, which results in hard shifts or noise. Some later hydraulic versions replace the fork with a concentric slave cylinder so that the external lever is no longer needed, but most Metro editions still have the tried and true Clutch Fork for its dependable operation. Enthusiasts love that the Chevrolet subcompact keeps parts accessible, and consistent fork geometry makes repairs easy as it also preserves familiar pedal feel, making the Chevrolet Metro driving experience easier to master.

Each OEM Chevrolet Metro Clutch Fork we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.

    Q: How to remove and install the Clutch Fork and Release Bearing on Chevrolet Metro?
    A:
    To remove the components, first disconnect the negative cable from the battery, then remove the transaxle. Note how the return spring is hooked onto the release shaft fork before detaching it using pliers. Slide the clutch release bearing off the transaxle input shaft, then remove the nut and pinch bolt from the clutch release arm and take the arm off the release shaft. Next, remove the cover from the release shaft seal, followed by the release shaft seal and No. 1 bushing using a bushing remover or a large socket. Take out the release shaft and return spring from the transaxle, and then remove the No. 2 bushing with a bushing remover and a slide hammer. For inspection, hold the center of the bearing and rotate the outer portion while applying pressure; if it doesn't turn smoothly or is noisy, replace it. Wipe the bearing clean and check for damage, wear, and cracks without immersing it in solvent. Inspect the release lever, fork, and bearing retainer for any wear or damage, replacing the right transaxle case if necessary. For installation, tap the No. 2 bushing into the transaxle with a hammer and a large socket, greasing the inside of the bushing. Install the release shaft and spring, then grease the inside of the No. 1 bushing, sliding it onto the end of the release shaft and tapping it into place. Grease the lip of the new seal and drive it into place using a large socket, staking the transaxle case against the seal at two points. Slide the shaft seal cover onto the release shaft, install the clutch release arm ensuring alignment with the punch marks, grease the new release bearing, and slide it onto the input shaft. Hook the return spring over the release shaft fork and install the transaxle, followed by adjusting the Clutch Cable.
