Good stuff, is that an 03 transmission? I remember the pivot ***** on those were longer which put extra shear load (through the clutch & fork) on them resulting in breakage at the threads. Stronger aftermarket versions are available along with the upgraded cast clutch fork. The stamped steel clutch fork is weak and prone to flexing. I could be wrong, but I believe if you upgrade the clutch fork to the beefier cast unit, you can also upgrade to the stubbier/shorter pivot ball for the added strength.
Also, great job cleaning up that engine bay! Looking good man!

Thanks man! yeah it's an 03 and Yeah that is all correct for sure and I am going to do that eventually but i am actually planning a 1jz swap so I'm saving the upgrade for that stuff until then.
