I am replacing the clutch in my 1984 Ram 50, 2.5L diesel. I have been trying to select a clutch kit on Amazon. On other websites like Parts Geeks it will list the engines that the clutch will fit and will have on the list 2.6 gas and 2.3 diesel like they will take the same pressure plate. But one on Amazon said it would work on the 2.6 gas but not on the 2.3 diesel. I am assuming that the 4D55 and the 4D56 would take the same cutch.Can anybody tell me what clutches are interchangeable on what engines? Sometimes the sellers don't get it right.
Transfer case question. I have a 1983 Ram 50 that I bought for the engine. I turned out to be a 4D56 which I put in my 1884 Ram 50 4x4. The transfer case in the 84 truck I am using has a different shift cover. It has a small rectangular shift cover for the shift levers. The transfer case out of the 83 has a different and wider shift lever cover so I know it is a different transfer case. From that much information can anybody tell me the difference like is one better than the other or what ever information you could give me would be helpful. I was thinking while I had the transmission out to replace the clutch I might use that other transfer case in my truck.
The engine in the 1983 parts truck is not the original I do not believe because was the 4D56 but I don't know if the transfer case was replaced when they replaced the engine or whether it is the original 83 transfer case.
Any information about clutches and transfer cases would be appreciated. Thanks, Rik
