i picked up a zf5 with the "beloved" internal slave setup. . .the dude i bought it from scavenged the clutch fork and everything else inside the bellhousing. . .

my question is, is the slave/clutch fork setup identical to the one in the mazda tranny? i dont wanna have to wait until i tear it down to see if theyre different and THEN start collectin parts if they indeed are. would rather start workin on the parts collection now so i can get them for cheap and allow the truck to be a lawn ornament for the shortest amount of time.

 

bump . . . .

 

There is no clutch fork and pretty sure the slave cylinders are different.

 

so its the integrated slave/throwout design that bolts around the input?

 

yes, concentric slave cyl with throwout bearing.
One thing you could do is to go to rockauto.com put your truck in as a 1990 F150 with 302 and manual 5 speed and get a part number for the slave cyl, this will be for the Mazda trans. Then put in your truck as a 1990 F250 with the 351 and 5 speed manual and get the part number for the slave cyl which will be for the ZF5 trans. Compare the part numbers.
Like I said pretty sure they will be different parts.

 

well since its all one piece ill just buy a new one for the zf. i was under the impression that there was more to it (a fork of some kind), and after lookin up a picture of the slave i see how it works now. theres no way im pullin the trans off without replacin the internal slave anyway so that takes out any guess work. thanks for the replies lazy, you basically gave me the info i needed.
