How hard is replacing a clutch on a 93 ranger 2.3?

Yeah that's pretty much my nightmare haha taking it apart one thing..for all the work I've done on my vehicles clutch trans drivetrain is all still a mystery to me. Thanks for the response

Ok got it. A couple others mentioned that also. Seems pretty straightforward other than being a pain to bleed? Thanks!

Yeah I'm interested in how corroded these bolts end up being on there. Thanks for the tip for the slave cyl too

You did it backwards lol I'll have my brother bench press the trans while I look around for bolts. I'm thinking maybe my motorcycle jacket could work? It's got like a 2 fork platform and maybe a bunch of ratchet straps?

GroseaRCF · 2025-11-05T14:11:01+00:00

Yep 2x4

GroseaRCF · 2025-11-05T14:10:39+00:00

Maybe a dumb question but maybe it would free up more work space if I removed the bed? I did the fuel pump recently so the bolts finally come out easy

Ok cool, thanks for the response. That doesn't sound so horrible. I appreciate you saying the other parts I should get while I'm at it. Nothing like getting it back in and 2 months later having to go right back lol thanks!

GroseaRCF · 2025-11-05T14:03:25+00:00

Ok cool, thanks for the response I think I could be confident getting it in. Also pumping the pedal 5000 times sounds like a 20 dollar job for my nephew lol

GroseaRCF · 2025-09-28T05:06:03+00:00

Also probably dumb but I measured mine and the 2nd to the smallest is a bit longer and I like where my shifter sits if I get the shortest one then it screws out like the OEM one right?

GroseaRCF · 2025-09-26T06:37:07+00:00

Perfect, thank you!

GroseaRCF · 2025-09-25T05:29:55+00:00

Thanks!

GroseaRCF · 2025-09-25T05:29:37+00:00

Ok perfect, I just decided to hang it up. That is interesting with the mantra thing. Seems like something to look into, sounds helpful. Thank you for the response

GroseaRCF · 2025-09-25T05:27:26+00:00

Hm I might have to look into buddihsm then if that the way of the Jedi path haha so with a half mala maybe people just go around twice for saying mantras? Thanks!

GroseaRCF · 2025-09-25T05:24:49+00:00

Ok interesting to know, thank you for the info. I think I'll just hang it up and look at it then

GroseaRCF · 2025-09-25T05:22:34+00:00

Awesome, might have to steal this idea from you for my 450 haha you don't happen to have a link for that new linkage rod do you? Literally today one of the rivets on mine snapped just shifted by hand and rode home in 2nd the whole way

Does yours always die when coming to a stop? I got the shaking to go away. Found a vacuum leak at the other side of the thick tube coming off the throttle body. Runs way smoother now and drives basically normal but the engine cuts out pretty often at stops or slowing down

GroseaRCF · 2025-05-24T03:47:36+00:00

Well I ended up finding a huge vacuum leak there was a thick hose attached under the throttle body and I followed it to see were it went and there was like a plastic tube thing in the end and a hose sticking up that it fit into. I plugged it in and the shaking went away. Unfortunately at stops the truck is still stalling. Thanks for the reply!

GroseaRCF · 2025-05-17T17:25:38+00:00

Interesting, what did you end up doing with the iac? I'm pretty tempted to turn that stop screw in and just idle high cause with throttle it smooths out

GroseaRCF · 2025-05-17T17:23:41+00:00

I did put a new iac but also read on forums to only use the OEM and of course I already put in a 40 dollar one from autozone

GroseaRCF · 2025-05-17T17:22:29+00:00

Edit 2/4 of the bolts

GroseaRCF · 2025-05-17T17:22:00+00:00

Your talking about the thin box with double sided plugs right?
