2.5L AMC clutch info needed!

[Mike007]

Hello, I'm desperately seeking a part #, or any info someone may have in regard to a clutch fork for an 86 CJ7 with a 2.5L AMC, T-4 , and a hydraulic clutch. Its like it doesn't exist. Ive contacted over a dozen auto parts suppliers online and off, all the local big name stores, and 2 Jeep dealers. Can anyone shed some light on this and why there isn't even a listing for it? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

I found it listed, no problem
the Jeep parts book shows the fork number as : 89 53 000 484
which now = J53000484
list price $8.64 in 1988
see what a dealer can do with that
number could change or maybe is even discontinued

Thanks for the reply. I came across that part# a while back. I took it to an auto parts store, crossed it, and ordered it. What came in was not the right fork. It was a typical CJ fork. The fork I'm looking for is not a typical fork shape because the pivot ball is on one side of the bell, and the slave is on the other with the throw out in the middle.

the information is correct
finding someone competent enough to use it seems to be the problem
and good luck in your search

Thanks Hagar. You are right. I appreciate the effort. I'm going to try the part number at the dealer. Thanks again.
