  Q: How to Install a Clutch Fork on Dodge Ram 3500?

  A:

  Before fitting the clutch release fork, check the surface of the bearing slide on the transmission front retainer. Change the retainer if the slide shows signs of scoring, wear or cracking. Following this, inspect the release lever and the pivot stud, making sure the stud is secure and not damaged while the lever isn't twisted or worn; put in new fork spring clips if you find any bent or damaged ones. Cover the threads of the input shaft, the inside of the retainer bore, pivot stud and release lever lever surface with Mopar high temperature bearing grease. After that, place and secure the release fork and bearing, verify that the release lever is in place with the rear raised area facing the slave cylinder side of the transmission and lock it with the spring clips. You should install the transmission and transfer case in the last step.

  Q: How to Service and Repair a Clutch Fork on Dodge Ram 3500?

  A:

  First, get rid of the transmission and transfer case if your vehicle has them, pull out the spring clip and then unhook the Release Bearing from the release fork before getting rid of the bearing. Look at the bearing slide surface on the front bearing retainer of the transmission and change out the retainer if it seems scored, worn or cracked. Make sure the release lever and pivot stud work properly, see if the fork is bent or worn and always replace any clips that may be bent. Apply Mopar high temperature bearing grease to the splines of the input shaft, bearing retainer slide, lever pivot ball stud and release lever pivot. Secure the release fork and release bearing by using spring clips and with the raised section on the rear side of the release lever facing toward the slave cylinder. After you put the clutch housing back, install the transmission and transfer case and then examine the fluid level in the Clutch Master Cylinder.
