BJ74 13BT clutch fork / TO bearing part numbers?

[Aaroneous]

I'm having a bear of a time finding the right clutch fork / throwout bearing combo for my 13BT. I've spoken with Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters, Dave at Japan4x4, and haven't been able to connect with Onur yet...

Does anyone know what I should be looking for and what part number(s) I could use for reference? Dave Stedman got me a fork for a Dyna application, but it's about 1/2" short and the resting state in the bellhousing wouldn't allow for enough throw.

31204-60080 is the clutch fork and it is the same as any BJ7* or BJ6*

I'M not sure which one of these is the one you need. And these parts are also common with other BJ models.
31231HUB, CLUTCH RELEASE BEARING
31231-601001
31231ABEARING, BALL(FOR CLUTCH RELEASE HUB)
90363-45009

If it was me, I would go with a whole new clutch kit. If that's the original, it must be 30 years old.

Once you have the part numbers, start putting them into google and all sorts of things begin to happen

That was a very helpful starting point - thank you very much! Looks like that part has been discontinued, but it looks like there are a couple of other part numbers that show 3B compatibility.

31204-60030
31204-60060

Any experience trusting the recommended applications from toyotapartsdeal.com?

Good call on the clutch kit. I wish the kit included the fork!

Living in Australia I can go to one of 5-6 wreckers near me or walk into any store to buy Landcruiser parts so I don't buy parts in from overseas.
But all kinds of BJ7* parts are getting harder to get.
I was also wondering if a 1HZ fork would work. I think they both exit on the same (left?)side.
I haven't tried it but I'm guessing that it would work with a 1HZ slave cylinder.

What happened to the original clutch fork? I think it depends on the year for clutch kit, but
Cruiser Outfitters lists them all for the best prices I've ever seen. I got the new clutch for my 12HT, and
not knowing the year Kurt sent me both throw out bearings and one worked. But the 13BT / 3B use the
same clutch I think and when it comes to a clutch all or nothing.
I guess maybe I didn't realize, is this not going into a BJ74/73 so what is your
donor vehicle? Clutch slave is going to come into play here, and some BJ74 slaves
are hard to find.

What happened to the original clutch fork?

I have the fork for my old "B", and it doesn't fit. The 13BT that I'm swapping in didn't come with the fork, which is why I'm searching. I left another message for Kurt, hopefully we can nail something down.

Here is what you are looking for. This is from a 1988 13BT.
It reads 60080-2 on the fork. Part number on the bearing reads 45TKD10

I need my reading glasses so here is the pic

I can't let this go, as I need it too. I have a truck with a blown transmission right now. I hope this helps you.

BINGO! Thank you for posting the pictures as well as the part numbers. This is exactly what I needed to make sure I don't guess 'n check any more.
