Need some advice. Changing parts

[Forces Delta]

I plan on changing my throwout bearing on my 93 ford ranger. I was wondering while I'm doing this if there are other parts I should or would be recommended on changing while I'm there.

Welcome to TRS

You should always change the slave, throw out bearing usually comes attached to slave but can be detached.
Also pilot bearing, cheap and why not

Pressure plate and clutch disc, if newer, are OK to reuse, but you can't just replace clutch disc, because Rangers used internal slave, so no external adjustment, they also needed to use Self Adjusting pressure plate, these require a hydraulic press to reset to 0 when new clutch disc is installed

Don't forget to change the rear main seal while the transmission is down. Saves your from doing it later

Change the slave, clutch, flywheel, Rear main seal, and if you want the front input shaft seal on the transmission (not as important I'd say tho). Also change the pilot bearing. Lube the input shaft and pilot bearing too, but not so much that it flings grease all over the clutch, just a light coat. I'd also flush the clutch line before you install the new slave so you don't contaminate it as these slaves are known for leaking.

And yes get a self adjusting clutch. Just get the whole kit with a new pressure plate and disc, usually comes with a new pilot bearing too.

The slave cylinder comes with a new throwout bearing. I got my slave from oreillys for $50 lifetime warranty, it's still working fine but I do reccomend oem or a higher quality brand. I couldn't afford one At the time and am always wondering when the thing is gonna leak

I'd reccomend a luk clutch if you're trying to be economical, I've got one in my truck. 30k on it and still works great. It's very light and nice for daily driving.

Another thing be careful when bleeding the system. These things can. Be a real pita. Always bench bleed the slave. I didn't and it turned an easy job into a nightmare.. Just lookup ranger master cylinder bleeding if you don't believe me lol

The Rat has the LUK rep set . IIRC, it comes with a pilot bearing. Also the line up tool. It is a 10" clutch and just like cp2295,, I find the clutch smooth and light. AZone had a flywheel for 60$. I picked the brains here and they all said to replace everything under the bell housing. I haven't driven the Rat very far, but its been 5 yrs without a bit of clutch trouble.
