I know this is off topic but seems people look at yours, So I've had a 02 ranger edge 4.0 5 speed for a year and the slave cylinder for the clutch just went out. I've heard these can be a problem and want to fix it right so it lasts. What is the best brand/ brands and what else should I think about replacing while I'm at it. Truck has almost 70,000 miles. Please help. Thx.

Motocraft? Advanced auto(perfection I think) or luk? Help plz

Motorcraft was the reply you got from DJ.


Personally, look for a brand that has a sleeve over the piston part of the slave cylinder that will keep contaminants away from the parts that normally start leaking..

$1,200 is a RIP OFF for a slave cylinder job.


It's a two hour driveway job if you know your way around a wrench.


I just paid $300 to get a slave replaced on my 94 before I sold it.

94MTX, what brand has the sleeve?

honestly when my truck is due for a clutch it will be going to the dealer...that way if something goes wrong it comes back on them not me

This was Keller bros. In lititz, where i bought it. They said it was covered under warranty, after I got it there they changed there minds i guess

yea call to other dealers...beshore has always been a little cheaper than the rest...dont know if they are still like that or not
