 Subject: 4.7 clutch sizes?
IP: Logged
Message:
Hello, I am in the process of changing the clutch on my 01 Dak 4x4 4.7 and went ahead and ordered the Centerforce dual friction listed for the truck 11x10x1 1/8 #DF972972.
I compared the old clutch I removed and it is actually 12' and the centerforce one is 11' and centerforce does not even list a 12' clutch for Dakotas, anyone else run into this before?
I found a listing for a Zoom performance clutch
#HP2051-1 12x10x1 1/8 but I doubt I can find this up here in Canada.
Anyway, has anyone else run into this problem,are there two different versions of the flywheels?
Thanks

I know this wont answer your question, but I was wondering much of a pain in the ass is changing your own clutch? I have a 00 Dak 4x4 4.7 I'm thinking doing the same as well, when the time has come. Any special tools needed?
BTW, where in Canada are you located? I'm in Ontario.

Hey Anthony, Its a bit of hassle getting this NV3500 out in a 4x4, the top two bell housing bolts on the driver side were a real pain in the but because of the wiring harness and fuel rail being bolted in a brace right there.
Couple things I learned 1) get the y-pipe right out of there it hangs the tranny up when you are trying to get it out. 2) take that fuel rail right off I mentioned above becasue it gets hung up on the trans aswell. Dont really need any special tools but air tools are pretty much a must as I found all the bolts to be damn tight and full of thread locker. need any tips let me know, I`m in Victoria BC.

Thanks man for the info,
Looking at the Y pipe how did you remove it? Did you remove the whole section including the cat too?
BTW, come and join www.dakota-durango.com lots of knowledgeable guys that can help you out with your clutch question.

Ya, the whole section back to the cat comes out,you will probablly need a torch to heat that part up and remove it as I did.
I ordered the Zoom performance HP2051-1 , I called them up and they said they knew about this as Dodge used both 11' and 12` clutchs and the only way you can tell is when you take it appart. Nice eh?
I`ll have to check out that site.
