Has anyone swapped to an earlier (larger bore) master cylinder on a later truck? The '95 and later trucks have to master mounted in a cast bracket, not bolted to the firewall. (curing a previous problem)
They look like they have the rod on a similar angle, just hoping the rod will pass through the hole in the cast bracket.
I'm aware '92 and older trucks had a 3/4" master cylinder, and also that some non- 4.0 '88 to '91 trucks had a 7/8" master.
Reason for this is my master is 5/8 bore, and it's not giving my 3/4" slave (from '84 Ranger) enough travel. I can adjust it enough to move the truck, but it either slips, or won't go into gear, depending where I set it. I also have a slave from a 280Z, but it's also 3/4" bore.
Anyone know of a 5/8 or smaller slave? I've exhausted most any Datsun/Nissan/Honda/Toyota applications.
Thanks for any help.
BTW, its a 5.0 H.O. ('92) with a T-5 in a '97 2wd Ranger Supercab.
