I'm trying to find the OEM Ford replacement slave cylinder that I see everyone on here recommends. Other than the dealership, where are people buying these? I see many places online offer Bendix as OEM. Is this the one?

Also, I searched earlier today and found a nice clutch change write-up, but now that I'm ready to print it, I can't find it. If someone has a link, that would be great.

It's been a while since I've been on here - two years actually - that was the last time something went wrong! Not bad for a DD 140k mi truck

Thanks in advance,

 

Try your local auto parts store they should be able to tell you

 

Advance, Autozone, and O'reilly all sell the OEM style unit, they just usually don't have it on hand. Granted, not a Genuine Ford Part, but it looks just the same.

 

Looks don't mean beans in terms of a part's quality.

You can get OEM parts at a couple of FTE sponsors, rockauto.com, and of course the dealer. The OEM slave will cost more than an aftermarket unit, but think of how long your original one lasted...

 

EPNCSU2006 - exactly! I don't want a "same OEM quality part", I want the OEM FORD part! THe first one lasted 140k mi.

Back to the question - rockauto.com lists four different slave cylinders for a 96 4x4 with the I6. None of which say Ford.

Another FTE sponsor, Direct Ford Parts lists two units for my vehicle, one "w/ T18 trans" and one "w/out T18 trans". No mention of manufacturer, however their website name would lead me to believe it's Ford. Anyone have anymore insight on this? I'm in a pinch and would like the part by the weekend.

Thanks again,
Rich

 

Do you have the old one in-hand? If so, enter the part number (E7TE-...... or F1Twhatever it might be) and see what comes up at the direct Ford Parts. RockAuto must have stopped carrying Motorcraft parts. I would call the Discount Ford Parts place to make sure you get the right part, or enter the part number from the slave cylinder in your truck now directly.
