I took the clutch fork off in the cleaning process and removed the retainer clip to clean out the ball cavity.
I didn't pay attention to its orientation when I took it out, and while reading the Shop Manual I see a small blurb on it.
Note: Install retainer with high side up, away from bottom of the ball socket and with open end of retainer on the horizontal
Why can't the manual just say, "Open end facing up / or down"? I'm not sure what the "high side" is.
Can anyone clarify for me? Sounds trivial but if this impacts the horizontal positioning of the clutch fork, I'd rather not mess it up.
Thanks,

I had looked at the Truck Manual for 47-51 and the 54 version... no great pics like that one.
Never thought to look at the parts book.
