clutch

I recently inherited my uncles 1998 Ford Explorer Sport (2 Wheel Drive) with 200k miles on it. I was down shifting through a hilly rural area when all of a sudden the clutch got stuck and the car wouldn't go into gear when i shifted. The engine revs fine when gas is applied and i can shift gears...

Love this site, its saved my butt so many times. Never posted before. I have a '98 explorer sport with a manual transmission with 108k miles and from what i've read the slave cylinder goes right around there. It seems like thats happened. Can't shift into 1st or reverse from neutral and is...

Excellent community here glad to find it... I have a 97 Explorer 4.0L V6 4x4. This morning my rig would not shift into gear. The clutch petal starting getting soft a week ago, never checked my fluid :nono: #1 The reservoir was empty and my diaphragm is broken #2 I looked inside of...

sometimes when starting the truck with clutch pedel down in 1st gear the clutch starts clicking, like a metal grinding sound but it doesnt pull. if i pull it in neutral and release the pedel, then press it again and put it in 1st its fine. also, in some gears, mostly 5th, it makes a loud...

Apologies in advance if this ends up long and rambling... So, I just picked up a 97 Exp. 2-door with a 4.0 OHV, 5-spd manual (M5OD-R1??), brand new Uniroyal TirePaws and 91k miles on it. Free, I might add. Was originally a southern California car. I'm the 4th owner. The clutch and slave...

My roommate "borrowed" my '03 Explorer Sport and since its return I can smell what smells a lot like burning brakes but it feels like it is in the transmission/clutch. When I open the hood the smell is much stronger from the left side than it is from the right. I can't figure out where exactly...

I am having an A/C problem. When I switch my a/c on it takes anywhere from 5-15 minutes or so to engage. Once engaged it works great and blows ice cold. After I stop for a period of time, the aforementioned problem starts all over again. Does this sound like a clutch problem or something else...

So recently my A/C has been getting warm. About a month ago i bought a recharge from Advanced and tried to recharge the system. That did not do much at all. The Max A/C on full blast right now blows hot. I thought this may be a blend door problem but due to that fact that about a month ago it...

Hey guys, I have a 94 explorer sport 4.0L in my Bronco II, The clutch is starting to go out, and I was wondering what is best out there. I have heard centerforce can be sketchy, and I don't know any other brands of performance clutches. All i'm looking for is an upgraded clutch kit that grabs...

I've got a 2002 Ranger FX4 with a 5 speed manual and 4.0 SOHC. Recently, the it's been making a squeaking sound when I let the clutch out in reverse and 1st. Then, I went to drive it the other day and it went into reverse and 1st just fine then wouldn't go into 2nd, and now it won't go into gear...

1994 Ranger 4.0 4x4 My clutch blew after only two years this time and I think it was the slave (there is fluid everywhere). So now I am going to replace the whole clutch kit by myself, never having tried with Haynes Manual. Any suggestions from those who have done this (best way to drop the...

I had my clutch and all changed and everything was working great. Then all of a sudden my pedal went to the floor. Tried bleeding it and noticed the fitting leaking where it goes into the slave cylinder. Disconnected that and even with the fitting not plugged in fluid was still coming out. My...

I was just driving my 1995 Ford Explorer XLT 4wd When all of a sudden I let off the gas while going down a hill and it started making this strange, annoying and loud grinding squeal. When I push the accelerator it goes away. I've been having problems with my Overdrive lately too. The O/D off...

Running a '93 2wd Sport with 155k miles. Tried to convert to 134a about a year ago, system had a leak and ran dry earlier in the year. Evap core had a faulty weld, so I replaced it and the dryer. Low side held a charge but stayed at that charge, compressor not cycling. The clutch would only kick...
