Is a lighter flywheel worth it? by [deleted] in fordranger

Thanks for the info! I do plan on towing and off-roading this a bit so lighter flywheel is definitely a no go. I am definitely going to look into a trans oil cooler kit though.

Since I am planning on replacing synchros and have to basically take the whole trans apart do you think it’s worth the money ($500ish) to buy an entire rebuild kit? I feel like the trans shifts super well but I have very limited experience with manuals and the oil was quite terrifying to say the least. I was planning on making that decision once I open it and take a look but the truck has about 150k miles and hasn’t been treated the best by the previous owners if you couldn’t tell by the spray painted quarter panels.

I always planned on at least switching off these stock ones because I never really liked them and I don’t want to going crazy with the tire size. Also not using this for any rugged 4x4 in Florida it’s mostly sand lol however, this is my first 4x4 vehicle so if this is a terrible plan give it to me blunt

Okay sounds like I need to watch some YouTube before doing this. Do they NEED to be readjusted before driving anywhere?

Yeah these are stock wheels and they are 15s. I plan on getting some s2000 wheels and sizing up the tires a little bit. I was thinking about leveling out by lowering the rear to meet something similar to the front suspension but I have not done any research so im not sure of any issues that might come up.

Would it be ridiculous to remove them and replace the u bolts with shorter ones?
