Hi guys, I just found this place this week, and am planning on replacing the clutch in my newly-acquired 1992 XLT this Friday(8/14). I knew the clutch was bad when I bought the truck, however I was not aware that it was laying in pieces in the bottom of the bell housing, which I found when I pulled the starter in preparation for all of this. I am assuming this is due to a rear main leak, as the transmission appears to be free and the shifter feels normal. It has been a while since I've done a clutch(last one was an 83 Ranger 4-speed), so I figured I would post here and be sure I'm not missing anything.
Here is what I have new and will be replacing:
- Transmission mount
- Clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing/slave cylinder
- Rear main seal
- exhaust flange gaskets(y to cat and cat to tailpipe)
- rear shaft center support bearing
I plan to drop the transfer case first, then the transmission, seperately. I've never worked with four wheel drive, so this will be new. Are there any tricks to this part I should be aware of?
I have drained the transfer case and transmission, and sprayed PB blaster on/broken loose all the bolts to the frame. I have removed the y-pipe and cat, along with both driveshafts(marked of course).
This should be a simple swap like I'm thinking, right? There does appear to be a trans fluid leak from the top, I'm thinking shift rail plugs, does that sound right?
