Hello Everyone: HELP!
Attached is a picture of my 88. Yeah, she is beautiful. All original. I'm the 5th owner. She is still in the wrapper with only 35k on the odometer when I purchased last June from Jersey. Anyway, I have done a good deal of work as far as replacing rotors, pads, calipers, main fuse, etc. The car has sat for extended periods over the years. The hydraulic clutch is going bad with a grab on release in 1st gear. I put her in the shop this week. The shop calls me yesterday and tells me the clutch fork is broken (I feel they probably broke it trying to get things apart) and needs to be replaced. Ok......turns out a clutch fork for an 87 or 88 are non existent as any oem or aftermarket part availability. Holy smokes! I have been searching the net ALL DAY. I have visited and searched all sites for hours-ebay and junk yards-and all in between. Any advice? Is there an alternative? I'm finding out that this particular fork was only used on the 87 and 88 T5. Thank you.
