Bearing 6-52-11

[Capt Jeff]

Hello all,

Trying to locate a bearing 6-52-11. Have search all threads and have seen it called both a dogbone bearing and a clutch bellcrank bushing.

 

For a 1949 (Canadian) Dodge Special Deluxe, but most, if not all of my engine/trans, etc is Plymouth.

 

Any ideas where I may be able to find, or does someone have a cross reference? Mine are gone, clutch petal went to the floor, and had to be towed to my shop. They said my transmission mounts were shot, and the engine torqued and the linkage popped out. He got me back on the road, but need to find this split bearing. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Is this what you are looking for?

Here is the Ford part they are referring to: https://www.oneillvintageford.co.uk/acatalog/ford-pedal-bushing-01a-7526.html

That 6-52-11 number looks like a "part type code" rather than a part number. I am away from my reference materials and, for that matter, don’t have a Dodge parts book to look up the part number. If you have the parts book, and if it is like the Plymouth equivalent, you will see some parts illustrations along the top then the "part type code" as in the heading for each column. You look down the column to your vehicle and that is where you will find the part number.

 

For lots of miscellaneous small parts I have had good luck using the original Chrysler part number in places like Rock Auto and Napa Online to find the modern equivalent.

Thanks Ivan_B but that is not the correct part. I did see that thread.

Thanks TodFitch. It is the only number I can find for that part. It is a 2 piece bearing, half moon shaped from what I can unsterstand. The dogbone goes into it to keep the clutch rod attached. I wish I had the old piece to compare. Going at it blind.

I think Todd is correct. 6-62-11 is not a part number. In the 65 catalog, this number is actually referenced as 2265 938, at the table below the diagram: https://www.manciniracing.com/mazbarbastbe1.html So we need someone to look up the part number in the 49 parts catalog. I do not have one, and don't see one readily available online

I think this is what your looking for. Andy B's list this for the 1949 Dodge, Plymouth, Desoto and Chrysler.

Dunno if this helps, the original two piece clutch pivot bushings were made of a diecast alloy, AFAIK there were 4 used, two on the frame pivot bracket, two on the bellhousing pivot.......what MAY help in your search is that at least here in Australia and AFAIK in the USA 1960's Valiants used nylon versions of these two piece bushings, exactly the same size & shape as the original alloy versions........might make it easier to find these......those shown in Soth's link at AB's are exactly what I'm referring to.........nylon versions of the alloy originals...........andyd

Thanks again. Can't go wrong for the price. I will give these a try!!

Thanks andyd. I saw a similar response in a different thread, but could not find a part number. I am definitely going to give these nylons a try. I just wish I had the old ones to compare. I may go back to "the scene of the crime" and see if at least one half is laying in the intersection.

Thanks to you and everyone who replied. I now have a direction!!

I purchased those exact bushings. They worked fine. There is a clip that retains them. Without it, it will pull apart.

Coming in late on this post.  In my Plymouth Passenger Car Parts List,  Issued June 1949....Part Type Code 6-52-11  BEARING,Clutch Torque Shaft Pivot calls out part number   635 884   and 4 used per car.  I'm familiar with this part on my '49 Plymouth wagon.  Two of them formed the socket for the ball on each  end of the clutch torque shaft. They were some sort of metal alloy.  Looks like Bernbaum's  offering is some sort of plastic.  Regards

i don't see a clip illustrated can you clarify

i replaced on 48 p-15 seem to be held in buy force {there is not enough movement to allow bearing half's to fall out}

Neil Riddle up in Shoreline (aka...ebay "seaplym" ) will have those MoPar split torque shaft bearings.

[andyd]

The "plastic" or nylon versions of these bushings were in fact originally designed and made by mother mopar........either original alloy or nylon bushings will work just as well........and I just did a search in US Ebay, Parts & Accessories under "mopar clutch bushing" and theres a listing there for Mopar part # 2265938, Clutch torque shaft bushings 1962 to 1979............for $16.00...........these are NOS in original mopar packaging.........andyd

Great info on this thread! I never thought these parts might be available and was lucky enough to find enough s/h bits for my 38 from my parts collection. Now I know better. Thanks all.

6-52-12 snap ring on one side and it looks like 6-24-6 on the other side. 6-52-10 basically floats on 6-52-5. To much torque and 6-52-5 will deflect and the whole thing will pop appart. I know, it happened to me going into reverse. I didn't have 6-24-6, so i used a long bolt in place of 6-52-7 to push off the bell housing and stop the socket from dislocating. This was on my 50

[chris 48 P15]

yes i see 6-52-12 in the book i left that side alone is ok

the other side was missing the split nylon bearing 

no clip for my application 

i like the bolt solution of using a bolt to add pressure
