Hey everyone,
So I have been having issues finding quality slave cylinders and clutch master cylinders for my 1996 RWD 3.0L Ranger. About 5 years ago we had the clutch and pressure plate replaced, and about 2 years later had the slave cylinder go out on us. When we went to replace it, we found out they had a pressure plate and clutch in there for a 4.0L. We replaced the clutch, pressure plate, slave cylinder, master cylinder and figured it was good to go. We got the slave and master cylinder from AutoZone. Six months later the slave cylinder went bad. We replaced the slave and master cylinder again, this time from O'Reilly's. About a month later the slave went out and left me stranded. We replaced both the slave and master cylinder again (once again using O'reilly parts), and now the master cylinder is going bad.
Does anyone have suggestions on good quality slave and clutch master cylinders? It is so much work to replace them each time that if I have to do it again, I might just have to get rid of the Ranger, and that would absolutely kill me.
Thanks a ton for the help.
