5.0 t5 clutch throw

RichardBoat · #1 10-14-2010, 04:53 PM

I'm setting up a hydraulic system for my 5.0 ranger and I need to know how far the clutch fork needs to travel to completely disengage the clutch. I'm looking for a measurement at the mounting point on the fork. Can anyone give me some help with this?

Looks like the post has been up for a while, might have solved the problem already. I got around 1 inch of movement before it disengages. Tried using the hydraulic slave cylinder and gave up. I ended up using an ebrake cable from an explorer right rear to make the clutch work reliably, hooked up the cable housing from the back and attached the cable end up to the belhousing.

Just in cast your still keeping an eye on this post, I found the Wilwood pull type gives plenty of travel and hooks up to a standard 3/8x24 brake line, used a 5/16" compression fitting with the 3/8 inverted flare adapter on the master cylinder side. Still works great and no problems.
