  Clutch Release Shaft Lever Bolt, Stud

• Description:

  This genuine Ford clutch release lever pivot stud, also cataloged as a release lever stud or clutch release shaft lever bolt, is the ball-stud pivot point inside the bellhousing that the clutch release fork rocks against every time the clutch pedal is pressed, converting pedal travel into throw-out bearing movement against the pressure plate fingers. It is the correct fitment for 1999 to 2007 Ford F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks built with a manual transmission paired to the 7.3L Power Stroke diesel or the early 6.0L Power Stroke diesel. Owners typically shop for this stud when they notice excess clutch pedal play, a fork that has worked loose or grooved its mounting point, incomplete clutch release, difficulty finding gears, grinding on shifts, or a release fork that will not stay seated after a clutch replacement. Ford treats this stud as a wear item and recommends replacing it any time the clutch disc, pressure plate, throw-out bearing or release fork is serviced, since the manual transmission has to come out of the vehicle to access it, making it far cheaper in labor to replace during the original service than to redo the job later. Installing a fresh stud alongside a new clutch restores a firm, consistent pedal feel and keeps the release fork properly located so it does not walk off its pivot under repeated clutch cycles. This is a factory Ford component built to original specification, matching the pivot geometry and hardening of the part it replaces.
