Centerforce Cluch and cast iron fork

[7tee]

Anyone running a double friction centerforce clutch and pressure plate with the straight cast iron fork. Curious about the straight fork geometry. With the T.O touching the pressure plate, my fork is almost straight out using a standard T.O. bearing. Thanks...Ed

I have Centerforce II clutch and pressure plate and use the stock cast iron clutch fork. No problems. You may have to experiment with 2 or 3 sizes of throwout bearing to get the right fit.

I have the following clutch and the TB is the one that Centerforce recommends:

Installed it a few years ago but just recently got the truck on the road. Working great.

So did you go with a long T.O.? Thanks...Ed

Hey dazza Yea I saw this one but it looks like the standard T.O. Are you using the straight cast iron fork? Thanks...Ed

Sorry, I can't remember. I have 2 trucks with CF II clutches, one is 4wd. It was a few years ago, too. I think it was the medium, but not sure, now.

Actually, now that I've dug out my paperwork from Centerforce, I think I had ordered the N1716 TO with the clutch, but then returned it because of the document (pic 2) and ordered the N1430. I know I recently came across the box the it came in and will have a look around to see if I can find it.

Ha! Found it. So the N1430 is what I used.

btw, I'm not sure if it matters but mine is a 4x4

From online pics of the N1340, they don't look any different than the N1716 but there has to be. In your application would you say it's a long T.O. or midrange T.O? thanks ed

Well unfortunately I don't have any experience or other bearings to compare it to. This was my first time rebuilding a transmission/replacing a clutch. It went well and seems to be ok but I've yet to test the high end.
What clutch are you putting in? Mine is the df024909. Is there a reason you think the N1430 would not be correct? I had just figured since Centerforce called for that bearing when using a cast iron fork that it was correct and regardless if long or short it would work. But again, with my lack of experience, I wasn't going to question it.
