I read through that already I was just making sure I didn't need anything else.

I'd like to do that swap myself

Well my plan is to do the swap this weekend I can let you know how it goes.

It's pretty strait forward in the tech article. I did it and it works fine. Nothing extra just the clutch, flywheel, and starter are needed

 

[Harley]

Ill be watching for your post

Yeah let us know! I've had this in mind for a while

Got the parts ordered last night so hopefully they get here soon.

Just a little update got the parts in so far so good. The flywheel clutch and trans are in only issues i am having are not being able to get the cotter key that holds the slave cylinder line back in and finding a gasket that goes in between the trans and tcase. I will most likely just use rtv and call it good.i do have one question though if I use the battery cable from the explorer I don't have to do any other wiring correct?

Well here goes a other update not so good news this time. Had to pull the trans back out because my slave started leaking when I started bleeding the clutch master. Anyway got a new slave and hydraulic line today hoping to get it back together tomorrow morning. I have just one more question the new slave came with a bearing does it matter if I use the 4 liter throw out bearing or can I use the one that came on my slave?

The TOBs are the same.

Okay physically they look different but I dont want to mess with removing the new one off the slave if they are they same.
