Stu,
Is this one of the two pins that fit in the fork and holds the throw-out
bearing
in place?
You said the throw out bearing fell out when you removed the tranny. one of
the pins could have fallen out too. These may even look D-shaped as you
look at the end. I know mine where and were reducing the throw of the
clutch. Mr. cheap here just turned them around.
