William:
If you can see damage to the fork, I'd say replace it. IMHO, to do that much
work and put a worn part back in a trans is a false economy.
My opinion only, but I had cheaped out ( used one off a TR3) when my clutch fork
broke and now I'm paying the price as the clutch binds occasionally. I've wanted
to redo it, so I think this will be the year. I'm going to go the' magic clutch'
route and replace the pilot bush, fork, release bearing, cross shaft, etc.
Now, if I can find the spare time and a few hundred dollars........
