While you're in there, replace the rear main crankshaft seal as well.
I've decided to put a new clutch in it and run it for as long as I can. It'll probably go another 100k + miles.
Driving it home from the tranny shop, I think I burnt up what little clutch was left, I noticed the release point on the peddle is almost all the way to the top of it's travel point.
Any input on what clutch kit to use or not to use, looking at rockauto, there are several choices.
Thanks again.
use a sachs or luk assembly. everyone on here will attest to that.
There is no adjustment in the clutch rod

Is it a factory 87 Ford Ranger clutch rod?There are adjustable length clutch rods, I have one. FYI
I usually use LUK clutches although I have also used Sachs, Exedy, Brute Force, and most parts store brands too. Nothing bad to say about any of them, LUK seems to be high quality so that's why I use those.
Factory one is what I was referring to because there was never any inclination that he would have an after-market one installed.No, aftermarket, I don't know what brand. Came out of a truck I parted out. Factory ones are never adjustable.
