I am in the middle of an A518 to getrag conversion and folks I have been searching for three days and I cannot find a getrag clutch fork anywhere. It appears they are not made by anyone anymore. So if anyone has any idea where to find one or if you happen to have one please reply or PM me. When I find one I plan to do some research to find one that will interchange (even if some modification is required).

Thanks for any help!

 

Have you checked the local dodge dealer? They may have NOS.

 

The guy that I bought the trans/tc from came through with another box of parts, mainly brackets but inside the box was the clutch fork!

I took several pictures to help others. I still plan to compare to some other forks on the market to see if I can find any that would be suitable candidates for interchanging.

 

to answer your question, yes i checked. they can get the boot and the retainer spring, both shipping from other warehouses out of state, but not the fork.

 

Good information to put in the memory bank thanks. I can tell you that the NV forks are totally different.
Do you know of any other trucks running this trans seems like some of the two ton older trucks had the getrag.

 

This is my first dodge and my first cummins and I have to say that the lack of information about these trucks is staggering. My main hobby is offroading, in that hobby there is a ridiculous amount of available information out in cyperspace about the parts and thier interchangability between various makes and models. Example: rear shocks for a 1987 Ford F150 fit the Jeep cherokee with a 3" lift. Or the master cylinder from a late 90's ram 2500/3500 works great on a late 90's TJ when upgrading to ton break calipers (just have to expent the push rod).

But check out the Ram wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_Ram

It doesn't even have the word "getrag" on the page!! Of course getrag's page doesn't even have the g360 model listed either... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getrag

Anyway, maybe this info will help someone else along the way.

 

There is this section but some of the post are really from back a few years when the site was going strong.
I was just thinking about like Southbend or Valair maybe they have an aftermarket beefed up fork. Also check with Tony at Mighty Diesel he runs a 1st gen dodge pulling truck.
