1996 4.0 5spd 4x4.
Changing out the clutch/slave.
My flywheel has what looks like little fractures all around the surface. I got lucky looking through my parts and found a fresh resurfaced one. Only problem is one of the pins is broken and was surfaced flat with the rest. The other two pins are pulled out but I think I can swap them from the old one. I'm not sure why it's like this, I can't remember anything specific about it.
I think I know the right answer to these questions already, but I'm looking for opinions or experience also... If I left the broken pin as is, would it be too far out of balance to use? Are the pins even needed, or can I just bolt it up without and leave the broken pin in? Go to Oreilly's and get $75 brand new one?
Also, is there a way to tell if the transmission is the one that came with the truck? I can't remember if I've swapped it or not.
Thanks!
Nice to be back here. It's been a while, again.
