2.9 and 2.8 flywheels and clutches?

[Natedog]

Well never mind... I just got back from the yard and the 1992 explorer has the iron bushing and pilot bearing in the flywheel... Guess I get to R&R a trans for the 4th time in my explorer... Sucks. Would have been nice to have had a 4.0 manual vehicle for reference when I did the swap. Oh well.

Those are shots from the 1992 Ford shop manual for a 1992 explorer....

My 87 Ranger Factory manual shows the same or very similiar and is also wrong. Sorry to hear you're pulling the tranny again. I'm really tired of working on trucks at the moment. My flywheel has a steel sleeve in the center and then the pilot bearing....doesn't look at all like the Ford pics.
