Clutch Replacement Time
I have a 1996 2wd F150 Eddie Bauer 4.9L Inline 6 cyl with a 5 spd. Slave cylinder failed and I have the transmission out so, Im going to replace everything associated with the clutch including flywheel, master/slave cylinder Im going to use genuine Motorcraft Parts I figure they lasted 18 yrs and 100k miles, why not. That being said there are a few choices 10" or 11" disc, with or without T18 trans? I need help building a parts list. The vin decoder says I have a 11" disc but Im not so sure. How do I tell if I have a T18 transmission?
M5R2
Mazda built 5 speed fully synchronized transmission found in 1988 to present Ford F150 series trucks and full size Broncos. Aluminum case, extension housing, and shift cover, with integral bell housing. Very similar in design to M5R1, but larger with shift lever located in center of shift cover. Available in 2 and 4WD versions. 1995 and later models have top cover reverse light switch moved to forward corner of shift cover. In 1996 case is changed to accommodate modular motor (4.6L), with starter bolt pattern being triangular. In 1999 the case was changed for 4.2L 4wd drive vehicles. The case is very similar to earlier style units with case length shorter on 4.6L and 4.2L models.
