I don't know what Packard calls a Clutch Fork. I couldn't find it in the parts book.

And it looks like the Boot and Spring for the Clutch Fork, because it is attached to the Bell Housing is listed there.

But Packard uses none of these terms it seems. What does Packard call a:

1. Clutch Fork

3. Clutch fork Boot (There's a 'felt' listed with the flywheel housing. Is that the boot?)

4. A Clutch fork Boot Spring, (There's a 'felt retainer' listed with the flywheel housing)

But the only part that is illustrated with a part group number is the Flywheel Housing Lower Cover 5.0604

I guess I'm spoiled. Jaguar illustrates every single part of the car in exploded '3D' fashion so you see every part in relation to every other, not just a slice through the center, right down to washers and spacers, numbers them, and tells you in numbered steps how to remove and replace anything on the car. Jag manuals are the original car mechanics for dummies. Packard assumes you've been a Packard mechanic for 10 years. Very frustrating for someone with no mechanical intuition whatsoever.
