99 ranger face lift

[Kevery]

Finally got my transmission in a couple days ago. I decided I am just going to do this project right where he sit. So far I have both drive shafts out, the shifter cable out, the manual transmission ECU swapped and the clutch pedal assembly installed. I worked all day just trying to get the clutch pedal installed and then worked on the Buggy till one in the morning. So I'm taking a brake today and start Monday evening on taking the Tranny out.

All buttoned up.

Very doable. I can pull my tranny and put it back in, by myself, in the gravel, in about 2 hours.

I carried the tranny across the yard, across the driveway and into the shed. About 500lbs. It was ruff.

Tranny by itself is maybe 200lbs. Maybe 400 with tcase

I have two cases so it was probably around 700lbs. All I really know is it took two arms instead of one like it usually does. lol.

When i did mine theres no way it was that heavy. I took it out with tcase on but had to take the tcase off to put it back in.

My samurai with the toyota transmission and dual cases wasnt fun...

 

[dhkonrad]

Yeah, now that I think about it, I think 300 is probably an over estimate for the manual tranny and tcase. I wish I was home so I could weigh my extra one....

Ok Ok... 100lbs maybe. Without the tcases.

Haha thanks for the replies. (Sorry to thread jack). Clutch, flywheel, and a new slave all I need?

 

[Kevery]

Pick up the clutch today. All I need now is clutch fluid res and a new starter. Oh yeah, and new exhaust from the manifold back.

Where is your clutch fluid res mounted? On the master cylinder? Mind taking a picture for me so I can mount mine in the correct spot?
