Clutch Clutch Clutch - 07 4x4 Ranger 4.0L

Hey folks,


I am having an issue with my clutch. The issue is that the clutch is a piece of crap. I paid to have a mechanic replace it because I am kind of short on time these days but I am about to have a bunch of free time open up for me soon. Problem is , the guy replaced the clutch with an OEM or equivalent and I am noticing a change in the performance

Well, I have a couple questions for you guys and I hope someone will be able to shed some light.

First, Can someone recommend a durable clutch kit for my truck? I plan to use the truck mostly for in town driving and occasionally some light off road. Now, I need the truck to be able to handle an occasional clutch dumping and throttle mashing.

Second, The guy who worked on my clutch the last time mentioned that the throw out bearing looked a little worn but he said it should be ok. That concerned me and I am wanting to look into replacing that as well. Can someone give me some insight on throw out bearings and what I should look for when determining if I should change it? And can someone recommend a quality brand?


Thanks!

Jay

Everything in there should be changed when you do a clutch job....its too much work to go back in any more than you have to. Slave/throwout/pilot...the slave usually comes with a throwout on it anyways. Idk what brands are the best...but i bought all my stuff from advance auto...i think its called performance....been working fine for me

I have heard good things about www.specclutches.com. They also have many different stages of clutches. I think FX4Wannabe on here has a stage 2 or 3.
