again I need to replace my throw out bearing on my ranger the AutoZone one I bought only lasted three years but I can't seem to find an OEM one Ford says it's obsolete is there any other place to get original equipment parts?

Dorman? I think they kinda specialize in discontinued/hard to find parts. Can't speak to their quality though

The Clutch release bearing didn't change after 1993, 1993 was the first year the new plastic slave cylinder was used and SFAIK, it was not changed again before ranger production ceased in 2012.

As a note F-series trucks use the same slave and release bearing on everything except the Diesels and the 7.5Liter V8...

So the part you are seeking shouldn't be difficult to find...

Thanks for the info!
Well unfortunately I couldn't wait any longer I had to go with the auto parts store release bearing not too happy about it but to my surprise my AutoZone master cylinder was plastic and when I went and got my limited lifetime warranty for free replacement is a cast iron piece Will have to wait and see if it makes any difference on Service life

a CAST IRON clutch master cylinder?

SERIOUSLY?

Not that the plastic outer body of the clutch master matters, as the piston and seals
actually ride on the inner stainless steel sleeve...
