Looked thru the Stickys and may have missed, but I'm looking for the part number and a place to get a new getrag clutch fork and ball for my bellhousing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

I have only been able to find them at Dodge ( I hate to give them $$$ 10X more than most people do Banks) There about $75.

I haven't seen the actual shift forks that dodge is selling but if they're oem quality they're worth every penny because as I understand all the aftermarket vendors are selling cast versions of the original FORGED shift forks, that don't last long at all...

The stock is just heavy stamped steel. I have had the pivot ball push threw on 2 of them.

TruckU

Only problems I've had is that mine was worn on the fork tips were it slides on the throwout bearing. I didn't want to pay Dodge the $$$, so I fired up the oxy-acetelyne torch, built the worn area up, and filed it smooth, then polished it to a baby butt finish. after it was polished I heated it red hot and oil quenched it twice, then polished it again. My clutch still feels smoother than the new trucks...

I did that to.

I think you're talking about the shift forks in the trans, they are talking about the clutch fork in the bellhousing that engages/disengages clutch.

OK, called, and finally got a parts man at the dealership. Anyways, he even asked the SN of the truck to cross reference, and said the 3 parts, all totaled was $31.06 with tax and all. This does not seem right to me, but is that right? Said he had the ball and spring, but would take 4 days to get the fork.

None of the parts are really anything complicated, the ball stud is a piece of hardware, clutch fork is stamped steel. Its just hard to find the stuff sometimes. Its good to see its still available at the dealer though. Post back here when you get the stuff, let us know whether its right or not.

I know this is an old thread but it comes up when I google "getrag clutch fork", I called the dodge dealer and gave them the part #'s posted above, they say they are discontinued. I need a new clutch fork and can't find it anywhere but quad4x4 and they want $140 for the fork alone , that is excessive, so I did what truckU did and looks like it will work but I still wish I could find a good unmolested fork.

Thanks.
