Hi, i am almost 60 yrs old and am going to tackle my 94 ranger transmission. needs throw out bearing replaced. 1st question, when pulling the trans, do I split it? I have rebuilt engines and Ford C-6's before and they are still running fine. My biggest problem is up an down off the floor to fetch tools.
I like this fourm and how you set it up.

Hi and welcome dfhovland
 












If you have the M5OD, you don't split it, it's one piece. But tell us which engine you have, it may be a different trans.

Welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:
 






Welcome..

You do not need any special to install the clutch, other then clutch alignment too. If you are going to replace throw out bearing. I would recommend doing the whole clutch job, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, slave cylinder (inside the transmission), pressure plate, and of course the clutch plate. Since you have the transmission down, you may want to remove the 3 rubber plugs and replace it with steel freeze plug or use rubber silicone around the 3 rubber plugs. Another thing since you are there already, inspect the rear main seal on the engine. If you feel it is need to replace, great time to replace it while the transmission is off!
