Off road package clutch size

[Doug Dudgeon]

Got 2000 Ranger with the off road package, need a new clutch, some say a 10" disc, some say 10 1/8" disc.
Does anyone know for sure?

What motor and/or Transmission do you have?

 

[Doug Dudgeon]

4.0

 

[Doug Dudgeon]

Not sure what transmission

OK. So you have a 2000 Ranger - 4.0 with a 5 spd manual. Maybe somebody with info will come along sonn to help you out.
@RonD, @19Walt93,???

Yea the question is what size clutch disc for the off road edition?

 

[Curious Hound]

I don't have the definitive answer. But... you're only talking about 1/8" change in diameter. That's 1/16" on the radius. I doubt that there is anything in that bellhousing close enough to rub on the larger clutch and cause trouble. The extra 1/8" in diameter gives you almost 2sq inches of extra surface area overall. That should be a good thing. So I would order the larger clutch.

I agree, my concern is the fly wheel mounting

You have an M5OD-R1 in a 2000 Ranger, aka M5R1
4.0l OHV engine

You want a self adjusting pressure plate with new clutch disc, pilot bearing and slave with throwout bearing, kit
LUK is a good brand, used them for many years, no complaints

10" is usually non-self adjusting
10-1/8th" is usually self adjusting
But that's NOT a standard
Either can be used and will bolt to the flywheel

Non-self adjusting is cheaper and will work just fine, but when first installed it might be hard to get into 1st when stopped, but just for a few weeks until new clutch disc wears down a bit
And pedal travel for engage and disengage will move up on the pedal as the clutch disc wears out until its slipping at the very top

Self adjusting moves the pressure plate over the life of the clutch disc
So engage and disengage stay at the same place in pedal travel

One is not better that the other as far as engagement or longevity
