I'm working on a 1989 4x4 XLT Ford Ranger super cab that is fairly rusty (undercarriage has a lot of corrosion, though most of the bolts are o.k.)
The clutch is slipping really bad on it and it needs to be replaced. I figured I would do this myself. I am not new to working on automobiles, but it has been a long time since I messed with U joints, drive shafts, etc. I have never replaced a clutch on any vehicle before.
I read about switching out the 8" clutch to the 4 liter 10", but really don't want to do that as I'm on a tight budget and the extra parts would exceed it.
I would appreciate the help on some of the steps of this procedure.
I have a Haynes manual for this, but I seem to be missing details on how to remove the drive shafts.
What bolts are you guys taking off which drive shafts in order to get the transfer case out?
If you have a link to another thread to this, it maybe beneficial as well - I tried to use the search function, but no useful threads came up.
Thanks,
