i am converting my 89 ranger from an automatic to a manual tranny. I bought a tranny out of a 93 ranger, it is the same as the one for the 89, so my question is what all do i need for the clutch, i know i need a clutch plate, pressure plate, slave cylinder, master cylinder, alignment tool, pilot bearing, and a hydraulic line. Also, the slave cylinder bolts on the tranny over the input shaft, so does it even use a clutch fork or does the bearing on the slave cylinder just push against the pressure plate. The truck currently has a flywheel from the auto tranny, do i need a different flywheel for the manual tranny or are they the same. Please help me, if you have and diagrams that would be great
 
you are correct there is no clutch fork, the slave is internal and does all the work from inside the bellhousing. ive done this before and you will want to replace the complete pedal assembly, i decided to merely add the clutch pedal to mine... BELIEVE ME! it was way more work than just changing the whole assembly would have been. and yes you will need to replace the automatic flexplate with a manual flywheel, and just a warning... the bolts for the flywheel are longer so you will need them also.
