I don't have part numbers, but wanted to mention that it's not a particularly easy part to change. Need a special puller for the clutch hub, and either a special puller or a good correct sized gear puller for the clutch pulley and magnet assembly itself. Having said that. It's a pretty rare failure, as it's just a big electromagnetic that pulls the hub in. It's much more likely that there is an electrical problem (fuse, switch, low pressure switch, or wiring) or a low charge that keeps it from working. It's worth either checking for power at the clutch connector, or better yet, using a jumper lead to power it up and see what happens before you tear into it further.
