shift fork? where to get one - SRT Forums

Silver_Surfer · 06-24-2008, 12:40 PM

I believe I need a new shift fork. Who makes one besides the craptakular chrysler?

Also, should I have the guy who is installing the clutch for me swap the pivot ball?

The issues:
-last winter the clutch started slipping under full boost (17psi) in 3rd and 4th gear
-when it got hot it went from hard shifting to VERY hard shifting. pump the clutch 15 times or so, and then it would work OK for a few lights.
-I swapped out the slave clutch, changed the fluid (ATF4 & syncomesh) and adjusted the peddle to as close as me as possible (very annoying). That helped big time, but I still get a little grind or hard push into 1st, rev and sometimes the other gears. It is better, but not cured.
-so I am thinking shift fork swap time. Since that has to be done (unless someone has another theory?) might as well do the clutch and whatever else needs to be done (thoughts)?

PTP sells a cryo treated one. I believe it is RAGE that sell a Hydraulic TOB replacement so you wouldn't need the fork anymore. I think there is someone that offers a billet one as well, but I'm not positive.

HTOB replaced clutch fork, not shift fork. Those are totally different things.

the rage tob replacement is rather salty for my wallet right now.

someone was going to offer a billet one, but that is not going to happen now.

is there no one who offers a better shift fork?

I will check with PTP about the cyro treated one... thanks.

A shift fork is inside the tranny and a clutch fork is what move your TOB when actuated by the slave cylinder. Which are you looking for? It looks like your talking about a clutch fork, but you keep saying shift fork.

well... I suck... I thought the shift fork was the same thing.... sorry guys! it is the TOB fork that gives us all the trouble right?

Yes, you are correct if you are talking about trouble disengaging.

PTP and Rage are the only ones that offer a solution to this problem...that is if you are talking about the clutch fork.

PTP's is a cryo stock replacement
Rage's is a hydrolic solution (better in my opinion but more hurt on the wallet).

I'm in need of doing this as well but can't figure out which one to go with. Most likely PTP cause the wallet is a little thin right now.

Anyone else know of any other vendors with a solution that is an upgrade from stock?

PTP has the TOB fork arm in stock and ready to ship.

I have trouble engaging (shifting into gear) not disengaging (shifting out of gear). That is the TOB fork issue?

Silver_Surfer · 06-29-2008, 06:06 PM

I think the PTP will be the way I go... but I am not 100% right now
