South Bend T905 Clutch Release Fork with Pivot Ball 1999–2003 7.3L Powerstroke ZF6 6-Speed Manual
Eliminate a Common 7.3 Powerstroke Weak Point The factory clutch release fork (also called the clutch fork or throw-out fork) on 1999–2003 7.3L Powerstroke trucks with the ZF6 6-speed manual is a known failure point. Under towing, hauling, or performance use, the stock fork flexes and eventually bends, leading to poor clutch feel, incomplete disengagement, or complete failure.
The South Bend Clutch T905 is the upgraded solution. South Bend designed this fork with thicker, reinforced steel to resist flex and bending while maintaining exact factory geometry for smooth, precise clutch operation. It comes complete with a new pivot ball, making it a true bolt-in replacement that restores (and improves) factory performance.
Key Features & Benefits
- Upgraded thicker steel construction — virtually eliminates the flex and bending that plagues OEM forks
- Includes new pivot ball — everything needed for a complete, hassle-free installation
- Direct-fit replacement for 1999–2003 7.3L Powerstroke with ZF6 transmission
- Maintains smooth pedal feel and consistent clutch engagement/disengagement
- Ideal for stock replacements or when installing heavy-duty clutches (including South Bend Stage 6 kits)
- Built to South Bend’s high standards for durability in demanding diesel applications
Vehicle Fitment
- 1999–2003 Ford F-250 / F-350 / F-450 Super Duty
- 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel
- ZF6 6-Speed Manual Transmission only
Note: Not compatible with ZF5 transmissions or automatic-equipped trucks.
Recommended For
- Anyone replacing a bent, worn, or damaged factory clutch fork
- Trucks used for towing or heavy hauling
- Performance clutch upgrades (pairs perfectly with South Bend clutches and other heavy-duty kits)
- Complete clutch jobs where you want to address all weak points at once
Pro Tip: When doing a clutch job on a ZF6-equipped 7.3, replace the clutch fork, pivot ball, and throwout bearing together. This prevents comebacks and ensures years of reliable shifting.
Whether you’re doing a stock refresh or building a stronger clutch system, the South Bend T905 gives you the upgraded strength your 7.3 Powerstroke ZF6 deserves.
