clutch

This is my first post but I've read a lot on here. I've got a 91 ranger 2.3, 2 wheel drive, manual trans. It's been hard to shift in to 1st and reverse occasionally for a long time but multiple people told me it was normal. About a week ago I started my truck and attempted to go in to reverse...

So I bought a 88 STX 2.9 with the 5 speed, this is my first truck I've had no issues till now. Now I've got a crazy misfire and I can't seem to find it, I've done plugs wires but its still missing. When it misses there seems to be large gaps between firing and looses power. I fixed a few vacuum...

Hey y’all, I’m having an issue after I replaced my starter where my clutch won’t actuate at all. The pedal has close to no pressure and the line connecting to the slave cylinder just popped out and some plastic piece came out. What can I do to further diagnose this? Slave Cylinder? Clutch slave...

Put a new slave cylinder in, bled the system with a handheld pressure pump and tried it the way the service manual said. Clutch pedal has more pressure than it did but not as much as it probably should. When my friend presses the pedal, the cylinder does not move. It just looks like this no...

Looking for some help! Building 1989 Ranger extended cab. Was converted with a 5.0 automatic when we got it. In the process of installing a blue print 5.0 and manual TKX 5 speed. The truck actually has the clutch pedal still in it but now converting to the manual, I was wondering if anyone has...

I may be doing the clutch soon on my 1996 ranger 4x4 5spd. I am wondering if there are any options out there that will make the clutch pedal a bit easier to depress. I will be doing the clutch as part of doing the slave cylinder to see if that fixes my stiff shifting problem. The clutch pedal is...

Hi everyone My 2008 4.0 Manual transmission is having problem going into first and sometimes third When shifting into first from a stop I hear a thud - and this is the driveshaft moving slightly ( I watched my buddy put it in gear while I was underneath) sometimes this is of off and on and...

First time doing a clutch, and I'd like to say I'm 99% done... except it's not working. The basics: 1987 4x4, 2.3 Lima/Pinto and 5-speed. I bought the M-PACT 07048WS kit from RockAuto: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8139676&cc=1137530&pt=1993&jsn=14. I replaced the pilot...

First time doing a clutch, and I'd like to say I'm 99% done... except it's not working. The basics: 1987 4x4 + 5speed. I bought the M-PACT 07048WS kit from RockAuto: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8139676&cc=1137530&pt=1993&jsn=14. I replaced the pilot bearing, put in the new...

How’s it going, this is my first post on this website. I have been using this site for years looking up information on all my Rangers. I’ve owned about 6 rangers, 5 of them have been square body’s. Anyways I’ll get to the point. So I pulled out my transmission on my 1991 4X4 4.0 ranger due to it...

I recently converted my 93' ranger to a manual from the a4ld automatic. I'm having trouble getting the clutch to fully disconnect. When the engine is on and I go to put the truck in reverse, it grinds. The transmission goes into gear perfectly when the engine is off. I am able to start the car...

I was having to push really hard on the clutch to get it to start for a while, now I literally have to turn key and kick hard. I feel like I'm going to break something else kicking it like that. I replaced the clutch safety switch the other day, but that didn't help. I did not attempt to change...

I have been reading many posts on this issue, I "think" I know the problem, but I'd like to hear from more experienced people. Thank you! Well, had issues that pointed to air in the clutch line. Hard to shift, and I read that one issue I had, "will shift if I turn it off" was related to an air...

So of course as I've said I'm pretty new to really working on cars but I've got a lot of questions about how I can really fully analyze the state that my clutch/transmission is in and decide how much of it needs work and what kind of work. This truck's my project for the foreseeable future and...

I recently replace my clutch master and slave cylinder and I wasn't a hug fan of the press in fittings so I bought adapters to to make a 4an thread and added a braided steel line I've bleed the system I've gone through almost 2 quarts of break fluid never let a reservoir run dry and there is no...

Hey ya'll First post here, but been lurking ever since I got my truck. 99' Ranger 2.5L with the M5OD-R1 I've had for 10 months now. I learned standard transmission on this unit but I feel like when I was learning it shifted pretty smoothly but that could be irrelevant. Once I was comfortable...

Hello all, been reading these forums to guide me through a throw out bearing replacement on my recently purchased Ranger. Here's whats going on : - Master cylinder was destroyed, replaced it with new unit - Slave cylinder appeared to be leaking and super old, replaced with new unit...

I recently replaced my clutch, pressure plate, flywheel, slave cylinder, and pilot bearing. When putting it all back together I noticed several (cooling?) holes on the underside of the bell housing. If I shined a flashlight inside the holes I could literally see the clutch and p pressure plate...

Hi guys I have a question for ya'll. I thought my clutch was slipping at first but now I'm a little stumped. The truck runs well, the engine was rebuilt about 40k miles ago. What happens is is when I go to start out, it's a little jerky, which is normal if you dont know how to start out with a...
