Slide it away from the clutch to get it out of the throw-out bearing.
Pull the trans with it in the bellhousing.

The fork just pulls away from the pressure plate. You don't have to loosen it or anything, it literally just pulls down away from plate one you have the slave cylinder out of the way. There is a bolt that holds it to the tranny housing, but it is designed such that the fork will slide back and forth at that point.

Re: T56 clutch fork

I have a related issue with my T56 swap. Is there any reason why it would be hard to push the clutch fork over the TOB once everything is installed? It doesn't seem to want to go on, yet when I had the tranny 1/2" away from the bellhousing it slid on easily. Thanks.

Re: T56 clutch fork

I can only think of that clip on the fork that holds it to the pivot that may be bent.
