Self Adjusting vs Non Self Adjusting Clutch?
What kind of a clutch does a 1998 Ford ranger XLT 2wd 2.5 4 cylinder use from the factory?
I have checked several forums and the answers are conflicting. Does anyone by chance know whether this type of truck needs a self adjusting or non self adjusting clutch?
If I'm not mistaken, the self adjusting mechanism is in the linkage, not the part that usually needs to be replaced.
All clutches are self adjusting nowadays.
If the clutch is ****** you can't drive it anyway pull it out and see what you have?
I do not think there's. If there's a cable from the clutch petal to the transmission then it is adjustable and if there's a line like a brake line going to the transmission then it is not adjustable
Hi as this idea is donkeys years old now. They are all self adjusting. Or worn out.
OEM was self adjusting however there are aftermarket clutches out there that fit but are not self adjusting.
The throw out bearing is integral with the slave cylinder. The ranger stock uses a hydraulic clutch release mechanism. It is self adjusting and the method used is a residual valve in the clutch line.
The system after bleeding needs to be pumped up.
If the transmission can't be shifted with the engine running and the clutch depressed the problem is with the hydraulic clutch release mechanism.
If the engine revs and speed does not pick up then the problem is the clutch plate, it is worn out.
Replacing either the slave cylinder or clutch plate is difficult. The labor cost for doing one is just as much as doing either or both. So if you have to replace the throw out bearing, do the clutch too. If you have to replace the clutch have the throw out bearing replaced too.
This is the NAPA part, other places have similar ones:

Looking under it will answer the question.
If the clutch is done it is done.
That adjustment if present just adjusts the pedal position.
The last vehicle with an adjustable clutch was in gm trucks back in 1972. Now, most clutch systems are hydraulic and self adjust via residual oil pressure. On heavy duty systems, they are still cable operated, but also self adjusting via a ratchet gear that moves forward on the teeth as the clutch wears. In both cases, when the clutch begins to slip, the clutch is worn out.
- What tools do I need to change my brake pads? Explain in plain English to a non-mechanic. Send pictures even? Alright before I get into this, let me explain that I'm a 17 year old girl that has no one to do my brake pads, and I'm unable to transport my car to a shop. Recently bought a car that needs a brake pad change and decided it'd be a good learning experience to just do them myself. I've seen them done and also decided that if I **** something up that's my own problem. I have a 2005 Ford Taurus. My e-mail is nyarseniccatnip@gmail.com (Haha. Ironic.)

- Will high performance spark plugs have any benefit in a non performance car? To start I have a 2002 Ford Focus ZTS with 150000 miles on it. It needs new spark-plugs, and the only two types the store has that fit my car are Autolite Platinum and Bosch Platinum IR Fusion. My question is for my car, is there any advantage to spending the extra 14$ to get the higher end spark plugs or would it just be a waste of cash?
