Got him down to $350. Promises it does not need a rebuild, slave is fine.
will get it tomorrow.
the coupling between the NP435 and the T-case, that is a direct fit to the ZF too?

TC should bolt up to the ZF. Ford used the same mounting pattern right up till the ZF6.....

$350 isn't too bad a price, if the trans is in decent condition.
You should be able to get a later hydraulic line, and hook it up to the current master, as well the slave. I would highly advise going with a new slave, since the trans has to come out to replace it......

Yep. That's one of the few things Ford didn't change. So your t-case will bolt right on. Score!

New slave. The small block ZF's are internal.You don't want to have to pull it back out to change it.

Make sure you get the shift lever and, hopefully, the transmission cover as the stock one won't clear the ZF.

I wouldn't go vatozone. Napa or Ford for sure. I have had decent luck with the O'Reilly stuff too.

Not bad, I paid $350 for a 2wd ZF5.

I bought a slave cylinder from OReilly's to not chance it with the old slave, and the new one went bad. I never did anything other than push in the clutch a few times as it set a couple months. I got a warranty replacement on that one and so far it has been okay.. but I am almost sure that Autozone sells the same thing in the "Duralast" box. If you want to do some investigating you could go to NAPA/OReilly's/Autozone and ask to see the part, I bet they will all be the same. I have even heard of the ones from the dealer having the same logo on them but cannot confirm.



this is the only other style I know of and I do not know about the reliability:
