likaleica Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hello again fellas - once more I'm seeking your help with clutch issues and will be grateful for all advice. The entire clutch assembly is shot so here in the UK I'm having the cover plate rebuilt, a new drive plate and throw-out bearing as it's cheaper than obtaining new parts in the USA. But the clutch release lever has a broken spring that retains the throw out bearing, the knuckle joint bolt needs to be manufactured and the guide tube for the transmission shaft is badly scored and needs to be re-engineered at eye-watering cost (image attached) Does anyone have any of the above or know where I could obtain them please ? Willing to pay sensible prices for good condition items. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likaleica Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Now have the full list of parts I need to find: Referring to the images from the Workshop Manual, on page 91 I am looking foritem 1, clutch release fork assembly. (this included the broken part which doesn't appear to be listed separately here) item 17, clutch release fork pivot. page 86 item 18, Transmission drive pinion bearing retainer. (this is the guide tube) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpollo Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 the bearing retainer guide tube will be easy to find as they are all the same from 35 to 56. the release lever should be the same for Plymouth 35 to 39. Dodge USA is different. The release bearing itself is used in other applications including a later model Ford truck but was the same part, to the best of my knowledge from 35 to 56 the bearing itself presses off the part that slides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpollo Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 You may wish to send me a PM as I can help you. Shipping from western Canada could be costly however. dp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
likaleica Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Once again it's time to extend warm thanks to you guys for helping me out with my Plymouth. Dpollo has kindly provided a vital part and the other information helped track down the right bits. When they all arrive I can hopefully get the old girl back on the road after two months laid up. The British summer has been dire so far - so at least I haven't missed out on any idyllic sun-drenched drives out in the Plymouth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
