Clutch Slave

1990 F-250 HD 4WD XLT. Am thinking of buying this truck, but it will need the clutch hydraulic system overhauled. Looking under the truck, I couldn't see the clutch slave cylinder. What is involved in changing it on these rigs? Trans is the 5-speed OD.

theyre cheap and easy to replace( the cylinder) they just have an expansion pin that holds them in. if the clutch is bad gotta drop thetranny-- not that hard

slave cylinder may be concentric. this means that it sits around the input shaft of the transmission. In order to change it, you'll have to drop the tranny down and access it from the front of the bell housing.

It depends on the engine--big block gas and diesel versions used an external slave, while small block versions used the concentric slave.
