Some 1984-88 Camaro models equipped with manual transmissions may exhibit one of the following conditions.
1.
REPEATED OR PREMATURE CLUTCH WEAR
This condition in V-6 vehicles may be caused by a loose/bent ball stud or a misinstalled/bent clutch fork. Therefore, prior to changing a clutch
assembly in any of these vehicles, check that the ball stud is securely seated in the bell housing. If not, tighten as required. If the ball stud is bent,
replace it.
Also, check for proper installation of the fork, P/N 14075718 on the ball stud (i.e., both spring clips under the ball stud shoulder). If either of the
spring clips are bent, replace the clutch fork.
