i put a 4.0 and m5od in my ranger about 3 years ago and in that time i have had now 3 clutch slave failures. first one was used but obviously not very old, it came with the trans and i just put it together how it was. second and 3rd were autozone or advance auto style replacements. not exactly sure where they came form or what brand but they were the big parts store type replacement parts. now it's leaking bad enough i cant really drive it, gonna be nervous just trying to get it to a garage i can work in. now what im starting to wonder is if my combination of clutch hydraulics are causing premature failure. iirc, my clutch master is a 2nd gen (fits my firewall) the hydraulic line and slave are from a 93 navajo (my donor) and im wondering if this combination isnt quite right? im probably gonna get a brand new master, line and slave from a 91-92 ranger unless anybody has another idea.
