Will a clutch slave cylinder from 1999+ work on a 1996?
I seem to have purchased the wrong part. I have it installed and am just about to connect it and bleed it. Then I make the realization...
At SummitRacing.com, after searching "clutch slave cylinder" on their site, the left side has additional filters to help you make the right purchase. When I filter Ford>Ranger>XLT>4.0L it narrows the results down to one selection - Dorman CS650006. No filtering is available to choose "1996". I purchased (and installed) this part. However, I find that if I filter Ford>Ranger>1996>4.0L it selects Dorman 360016, but lists my Ranger type as "S" not "XLT". This looks more exactly like the part I removed, I just thought that Dorman went fancy and enclosed the slave cylinder in a rubber boot. It mounted to the transmission just fine, giving no hint at a compatibility issue.
Will this slave cylinder work or will I need to remove the tranny again?
