The Marlin Crawler forum is much better for this kind of stuff, if you don't get responses here. They know their Toyota transmissions.

 

I emailed marlin directly and am waiting on a response. Dang so close.

 

did you try those sources when I responded to your PM?

 

yeah sent them an email i think some one in denver has got one. thanks alot

 

Ok. Don't hold your breath too long emailing Marlin. He's great but busy. Just post on the forum.

 

Ok, so I got some parts but still am not sure whats up?

So they sent me 2 clutch forks and I was wondering which one you folks where using. The one on the left is what came from me L43 and the one on the middle and right are the ones they sent me.
Should my clutch fork be able to sit all the way back on the input shaft with the throw out bearing, when I use the fork on left and middle they wont let the bearing sit all the way back on the shaft, It I use the fork on the right then the master cylinder wont set on it and the spring has no where to hook, also the throw out bearing wont mount to that fork so Ill have to get a new master cylinder and a new peice where the bearing and fork meet.? Can some one tell me whats going on here?

 

The fork on the right looks just like the one on my 83 L52. I'm guessing you mean slave (or release) cylinder? Not master? The L52 has no return spring, so it's not a problem that there's nowhere to hook it. I won't tell you to spend money on this or that because I haven't done this exact thing before, but maybe you need the release cylinder for an L50 or L52?

 

Yeah slave cylinder. Hows yours hook to the fork, and how does your fork hook to your throw out bearing? My throw out bearing has the U-L clips.

 

The slave cylinder just pushes into the depression on the fork, it doesn't actually "connect" to it, as far as I can remember.

 

Dang yours is so clean! Thanks I need to just track those clips down. Thank again.

 

Yeah, it was fresh from Marlin Crawler's shop at that point...

 

Got it together and running. she does 70......

On another note.
I had to do some more modding. I had to cut the slave cyclinder shorter for it to fit with this new fork, and the side bolts had to be about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer, also my shifter hits my cd player so Ill have to bend that.
The things we do to go 65.
