PtheDude Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I'm curious if anyone is sitting on "clutch stuff" from a 620 part-out Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Clutch discs, pressure plates and release bearings are high wear items just like brakes but infinitely harder to replace so you don't really want a used bearing, pressure plate or clutch disc on your truck even if free. Two weeks or two months from now it may give out or the bearing seize and you're back where you started. Best to buy a new clutch and pressure plate complete with new release bearing. Measure across the old disc or the wear pattern on the flywheel. If a 620 it's likely a 225mm size. Link to comment

Sorry mike, Let me clarify, I need to scrounge up a pedal assembly, and hydralics to convert the 75 auto I have in my driveway. The more I read, the less confident I am I can heal this auto tranny Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 My mistake on the clutch stuff. What's wrong with the auto? There are a few things you can change and inspect and a brake band adjustment. Nothing too involved but way easier and cheaper than converting to an unknown standard. Link to comment

The guy I bought it from said i was a working pull, and after he got it all together it didnt engage. it shifts. shortly after I recieved it I was moving out of my house, and its sat for 13 months. I have another trq converter. planning on putting it up and looking at it from underneath next weekend. time to roll around on my back is limited. I'm even wondering if the shifting linkage is correct and connected, it shifts easily. rolls in neutral, wont roll in gear. Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 There are a couple 620's at the arlington pull a part. Pretty sure they still had the pedal assys last time I was in there. Link to comment

The previous owner had it apart??? Fuck those previous owners and their shit. Link to comment

datzenmike Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Pull the boot off and look just in front of the shift lever on top of the tranny case. It will likely be a 4 spd. and have a small rectangular cover plate with 6 bolts holding it on. Like this: . Link to comment
