    Flywheel shims or spacers??!?!?

    What is a 4r70w? Is that a manual transmission that will fit the 4.0 first gen explorer? If so is it 4 or 5 speed? To and answer your question: make sure the the throw out is travelling all the way out. might have to bleed it. If it is i would recomend a shim or maybe a new flywheel.
