Finally got my transmission removed. Original issue was I couldn't get it to go into any gear while the engine was running. Got the transmission out this morning along with the pressure plate and disk. Absolutely no friction material on the disk whatsoever, which is what I was hoping to see. It's a Borg and Beck clutch so maybe it's original to the truck. Any recommendations on the brand to buy now? Should I just resurface the flywheel? Thanks!

 

Bent fingers

 

What's left of the friction material. The wavy lines are what held it to the clutch disk - yes, it's not attached.

 

Looks a little thin without the friction material!

 

Check for cracks on the flywheel and the pressure plate. If the pressure plate got too hot from metal to metal, the springs are probably weak. I have had pressure plates rebuilt with hd springs. All depends on your budget, but I would recommend resurfacing the flywheel, and replacing the pressure plate and throw out bearing. Also check out your pilot bearing(bushing) inside the end of your crank, and the fork that goes into your throw out bearing.

 

Pressure plate springs are bent and worn at the fingertips so definitely replacing that along with disk and throw out bearing. Might as well resurface the flywheel while I'm in there. Any suggestions on brands to either get or stay away from?
