A problem with the clutch was the release arm pivot ball. When I was trying to get the arm off the stud I realized that the stud had come out of the bellhousing. The stud for 1980 uses a 6mm threaded stud. Later studs use an 8mm stud. The earliest cars use a 6mm press-fit. Something the later PET versions hide is all the obsolete parts. Sometimes they'll show superseded parts and sometimes just the latest replacement. This part only showed the one number and I hoped it'd work.

Ordered a used one from 928 International. The stud is a bit shorter. THe pic shows the original part with the cap still on.

Had to remove the upper bellhousing to fix this. The housing is aluminum and drills well. Gotta be real careful in getting it straight. Tapped for coarse 8mm threads and it screwed right in.
