Lately it has been slow to release, hard to get into gear when the engine is running. I have bled it multiple times, and it works better for a day or so. No fluid leaking out of the rubber boot, though.

So, I am trying to decide which clutch to buy. Someone on here recommended Luk and said they are what Ford uses, so I was looking at these two (not sure which is better):

with this flywheel:

OR, would one like this Mega HD clutch work good?:

Any input is appreciated. Thanks guys
 












Anyone have any opinions on any clutches before I order? Also considering this BAHNHOF STG1 CLUTCH KIT with an OEM Ford slave cylinder. Saw some good reviews for Bahnhof clutches, but have never personally known anyone who used them.

I need to do something about my clutch as well, having the same problems you described. Did you end up ordering the Bahnof clutch? If so, how did it work?

Cant remember what clutch I put in my Ranger but I used the Perfection Clutch slave cylinder. It has a different line connection than stock. The stock one can be a real bugger.
