Re: Clutch Replacement
 

Hi Les, do you have a part number for the medium duty truck long nose bearing retainer and perhaps a vendor??
Thanks Mark

Re: Clutch Replacement
 

ok for those viewing this thread, I ordered the long T.O. bearing and am going to install the short retainer, does anyone feel this won't Work?? the doner trans i got the short retainer from came off a 63 GMC and both input shafts measure the same from bearing face to end of shaft. Approx 6.25 inches.
Thanks Mark

Re: Clutch Replacement
 

Mark...
Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
Try it out before you install it.
You can see the wear marks on your old set up.
Just put it through the moves while on the ground.....make sure that when the face of the release brg. is lined up with where your old one did....that the slot where the release fork is at lines up with where the old one was.
It will....(I just wanted to make sure that I sounded really smart.)

Anyway.....let us all know what you find out.

Hi Les, so far all seems to work ok,won't know til i try to put it into gear. Pedal travels to floor as it should, has clearance between clutch fingers and T.O. bearing when relaxed.
Thx Mark
