- How to replace the clutch slave cylinder and install the transmission on a manual gearbox Ford Ranger. This was a 2wd 1999 truck, but the same procedure applies to other years and models as well.
Good idea to mark the driveshaft before dropping it. Some driveshafts are "harmonically balanced" and must be re-installed exactly how they came off. If you can't see the paint from the manufacturer, just paint a line from driveshaft to one end....like the differential side. If you put it on wrong and it was harmonically balanced, you'll experience vibrations at higher speeds, like over 50mph.
How are you NOT swearing like a sailor while doing this !???..
Lifetime warranty means lifetime of replacing the same part over and over again.
When i was a mechanic, slave cylinders where on the outside. Better yet, there were clutch cables. Humanity is going backwards
The new clutch style is specifically designed to be a hassle to repair yourself, to incentivize people into trusting their corporation with repairs. Always strive to have the maintenance of any component within any sort machinery as quality and straightforward as possible, print labels and instructions into the metal if necessary. These corporations that have a monopoly on engineering designs need to be nationalized and divided back down to reasonable levels.
I can't believe you did this whole job in 17 minutes!
Not a ford buddy. Made over seas by Mazda! Apparently we can't make a small 4cyl 2wd truck in America anymore. Wait scratch that Toyota is making Tacoma's in the states now! So it took a Japanese Co. To start build small efficient 4cyl trucks in the states again...
Another thing, use the best quality fluid. If you’re at Dollar General, they can say clutch fluid, or Cam2, don’t buy it. Get the correct fluid at the dealership! There’s your problem. Hyper tech. Leave it there son. You may soon be doing this again. I hope not. Drain and replace that fluid. My clutch and pressure plate has some wear, but was usable, the bearing was still good, but I replaced it all. My 2.5 in-line 4 will smoke the tires in second on good gas, if you put the rpm to it. Great video. Thanks.
And here I am, thinking I'm the only person with the problem of the slave cylinder constantly failing. Great video my man.
I love fords, but man they messed up making a slave cylinder internal
Thank you for a simple, straight forward video.
Hey man 9 years later and I can't thank you enough for making this video! Your chill demeanor and calming voice makes all this info you've shared so much easier to take in, absorb, and retain! Made my repair a complete success on my '95 Ex Sport 4x4 😎👍🏼
6 years later. Thank you. Been intimidated with this and you kept that entertaining and covered everything. Mahalo 🤙
My opinion is, this is by far the best video of this type of job all of ever!! Thanks man, great editing too!! Awesome explanations and hints as well.
This is why I'm taking it to the auto repair shop, Yes I will cry when I have to pay but your video just confirms what my body has been telling me "Don't make me do it!" Thanks.
I was inspecting the transmission fluid level in my f150 and checked the slave cylinder. The tube for the fluid connection felt loose but there was no leaks. I was worried it had come loose. Seeing you spin it solved the mystery. Thanks man!
You have my utmost respect, poise, grace, just effortless. I feel less of a man watching this however I now know what it takes to be a real man. Impressed mate.
Hey man just wanted to say thank you for this upload, it really helped me swap out the slave cylinder on my 97 Ranger!
Just fixin to do this job next week, very nice refresher video. Dropped many a transmission in my day, but not in about 8 years. Thanks for posting.
Your sense of humor coupled with your expertise is perfect. Reminds me of me, minus the expertise :). Thanks for a wonderful video, it makes my Ranger less daunting.
