The fork that we offer in an updated Ford part that is reinforced a bit more.

Agreed. How does that pertain to the 97 model being discussed in this thread?

Another question, how hard is it to replace both the slave and master cylinder? How do you know if it's time to replace them?

The slave is super easy. 1/4 turn to disengage and pull it out. Same deal for the master, but it can be difficult getting it seperated from the clutch pedal. 30 minute job when it goes right.

You'll know it when it's time........when they fail it is not subtle.
