Thought I'd follow up on this post since there were no replies and quite a few views. I finally found a shop that could fix the input bearing, but the problem is that my original assumption about getting the old off held true. In fact, according to the mechanic there ( who I honestly believe...

Anyone know the proper distance from back of slave cylinder to face of throwout bearing when clutch released (out of the box ) for '91 XLT with M5R1 transmission? Worried that slave/throwout bearing that I bought (Brute Power from Fisher Auto Parts) may be too long; possibly for a Ranger...

Back in April got the '91 XLT back on the road. With rebuilt M5R1 transmission, new Luk clutch, Fisher auto store master cylinder, NAPA clutch line, slave cylinder and throwout bearing and resurfaced flywheel, I was expecting too have a nice long break from clutch/transmission work. No such...

Found a Fix First took of hood presssure piece. (The thing that bolt holds in latch slot.) It slips right out after removing bolt on bottom of hood on right side (facing vehicle ) of latch striker hole. Slid latch plate far over to left (facing vehicle) side of hood, since it wouldn't come out...

Hood flew open in my '91 Ford XLT going down Interstate 81 the other morning (Going 65MPH at 5:45am; talk about an eye-opener). Managed to get to shoulder watching the center line out drivers window. This is when I discovered that latch plate was askew and moved about freely. I then commenced...

It might take me a day or two, but I'll check my junk part box. It may very well be in there. If so, I'll be glad to drop it in the mail to you. Let you know one way or the other ASAP. Also, if you need one, I have the clutch line that goes from the master to slave. I am almost absolutely...

The slave end. But you don't need to completely drop the transmission to get the slave cylinder out. When I replaced my transmission I had to cut the y-manifold, but I think you can get enough clearance to get the slave cylinder out by setting bell housing back as far as you can on top of the...

If you haven't dropped the clip into the bell housing or if you have and you can get it out with a magnet. I used a real skinny needle nose plier. First though I twisted a trash bag twist tie to the clip in case it slipped from pliers. But I as stated in previous post, the clip wouldn't work...

Pulled the transmission, again, And took out the slave cylinder. Popped the pins that hold in the line connector in both the old in new slave cylinder. Swap in old quick disconnect for new clipped model. After rebending the teeth of quick disconnect, reassambled eveything and seems to be...

Here are pix from NAPA. Its sort of hard to see, but by white plastic plug is clip that replaces teeth.

Here is line picture from NAPA.

The slave cylinder and the new line are both NAPA parts. I don't have the part number for the slave cylinder, but the line is part# 819-5930. I tried the original line (brass ended) with the new slave cylinder first and that snapped okay but leaked overnight. The new line is all black plastic...

Have 1991 Explorer with M5R1 transmission. Put in new clutch, throwout bearing, master cylinder and slave cylinder. And had transmission rebuilt. After installing everything and bleeding the clutch, drove it from field I worked on it to my house about 6 miles away. Worked fine except I woke...

Working on getting new input shaft bearing on 91 Ford Explorer with M5R1 manual trans. Have the transmission pulled and covers off. Got the new bearing kit and shims. But having trouble with getting input shaft out. The knotched gear on input shaft won't clear gear on layoff shaft. I...

Just replaced clutch on '91 Explorer, pretty sure throwout bearing blew going down highway. Used kit from Advance which came with eveything including wrong throwout bearing, but otherwise everything matched. When Advance couldn't get correct throwout bearing, picked one up from Napa that...
