97 Ranger Clutch replacement.
Hi gang. 1st post to the forum, hope you can help.
60K on the clutch and it's slipping. Looks like it's a clutch change to me
. Anyway, any suggestions as to a good replacement clutch package, and any gotchas would be welcomed. I have the Haynes manual, any suggested work flow would help! I only want to do this once, so suggestion as to collateral stuff to replace would also be welcomed. I guess you can't remove the transfer case and tranny as one piece. This look like it's going to be a pretty extensive job, but I got 10 days of vacation. I'm sorta an intermediate mechanic skill wise.
Thanks in advance!

Will keep track of my adventures and post them if you want. Maybe someone can learn from the mistakes I'm about to make! I won't post the new words I'm about to learn

Chech here with a <SEARCH> function for info.
A recent problem was discussed about the slave cylinder. If your truck has the hyd slave cylinder it sounds like it is a good idea to replace it while you are in there with the clutch. Also check the input shaft seal and the rear engine seal.
Thanks for using FTE!

Well, I'm replacing that, but the exhaust Y is something else. Do most avoid having to avoid removing the exhaust by lowering the motor with the crossmember removed? It seems the only way!

Ok here's the poop so far. had to remove the exhaust rather than risk squishing it at the y fitting. I snapped only one manifold bolt, shouldn't be too hard to get out with the tranny out! Took out the x-fer case and tranny as one piece, but enough of that foolishness, I am seperating them tomorrow and putting them back in one at a time! The wear marks on the clutch were gone, but it didn't get down to the rivits. I'm gonna replace the flywheel as it has some scorching. Rear seal looks good and I'm replacing the slave cylinder. Need two people for this job, and a good sense of humor..
I'll let you know how the reinstall goes.
