94 Ford Ranger (Replace clutch plate)

[rmalinger]

Dear Forum:

I am seeking some advice on replacing a pressure clutch plate on a 3.0 6 cylinder 4x2 manual 1994 Ford Ranger.
When I am driving down the road at constant speed every once in a while it sounds like the engine revving up with no increase in speed. I have been told that it sounds like the clutch plate is slipping.
I do not have the money to take it to the shop and would like to know if anyone knows of a web site or anything that would give me detailed instructions on how to change it.

Does anyone out there know of any good how to websites?

Hi, no detailed here but. I will suggest you search here and see others results. Clutch is not that big of a deal supposing you get all of the housing bolts out. Everything is pretty self explanitory as far as what to disconnect to remove the bell housing. Once it is removed then you'll need basic tools including a tq ratchet, and two biggies are make sure you have a N95 respirator and be prepared to have to replace or refinish the flywheel, which will call for new flywheel bolts. The dust from the flywheel can be extremely bad for your health. If you are mechanically inclined then it should not be too big of a deal for you to do, maybe invite a mechanic buddy over for s few beers.
