I have a 92 Ranger 4.0 M50D with the 9 15/16" clutch. I want to run a 93 Luk pro gold clutch set. Therefore I need the 93 slave cylinder-is this just a simple swap out to my tranny(will it bolt up and work)? The flywheels are the same. And will my bleeder line from the:icon_idea: vehicle fit into the slave cylinder female end. Luk does not make a pro gold for the 92 4.0 even though broncograveyard lists one. What to do? This is part of my 4.0 swap into my 90 BII.

Pretty sure that the slave is the same.

The slave cylinders for those two years changed part numbers that is why I am perplexed since 23 spline on both and 1" diameter too, but definitely different looking( a little) on the slave cylinder. Thanks for taking a look- I know you have a good bit of knowledge here. I plan to take my 92 slave to the parts store and compare to the 93 slave to see exactly what changed.

The size of the inlet port changes and the bleeder valve changes somewhere between 91 and 95.

The throwout bearing itself does not change. What I was trying to say with only one hand free was that while a 93 slave won't plug into your existing hydraulics a 92 slave will work a 93 clutch just fine.

Obviously what you said is true. I went to parts store and compared the 2 slave cylinders- same exact height and same exact throwout bearing surface.

Yeah, sorry for the confusion. It is hard to type with a newborn in one hand a two dogs in the other.
