Clutch question
ok so I bought a replacement clutch for my 66 F250 and noticed that the old one was a lever/coil spring type plate and the new one is a diapragm type. before I put it in I want to know that I have the better of the two choices, of which I didnt know about. so does either one have a better clamping ability over the other? I also noticed the diaphragm version is quite a bit thinner assembly. any info is greatly appreciated. thanks. oh and the one I bought is a sachs K0465-01 if that helps.

Each has about the same centrifugal clamping ability, However the diaphragm clutch will be much easier on your leg compared to the Borg and Beck. The diaphragm will wear a bit quicker also.
I would use the diaphragm.

Ok thanks.... well I put the diaphragm in reinstalled the tranny and then realized I didnt put the fork in 
soooo with a screw driver and needle nose pliers I managed to get the throwout bearing clips bent enough so I could get the fork clipped onto it. but I get a low howling sound when clutch is depressed. I wouldnt think that those clips would make the bearing whir like that. also after much research I have found that there was a bail wire spring that clips the fork onto the bell housing pivot. again once adjustment is set and the return spring is in place I would figure that with all the tension on everything when the clutch is depressed that none of these things would matter when it comes to the bearing making noise. soooo with that said. anyone have any suggestions? are any of these things key? or did I just get lucky and get a bad bearing? arg I dont wanna pull it again.

The original clutch disc decided to completely fall apart so i replaced the whole assembly. Plate, disc and bearing but did not replace the pilot bushing. It seemed fine and beforw the disc fell apart there was no noises

Desparation is the mother of inovation. Amongst other stuff. I just put the np435 back in my 65 them suckers is heavy. I can see why you used a screwdriver and needlenose pliers. Probably did that lying on your back too.
