Here is a little back story. Bought a 1991 ranger stx. 4.0 m5r1. 4x4 with electric bw1354. was told it needed a clutch. jumped in it started it pressed clutch up and down didnt make a sound or nothing. so i said, ok. get it back to the garage and pull the tranny out. as soon as tranny came away from motor new that clutch was not the problem. pulled out from under truck and grabbed the main shaft and gave it a light tug and wouldnt you know it was melted in half right at the front input bearing. so tore the tranny down to bare case.
I am replacing everything. And just wanted to know if any of the specialty tools are needed to put it back together or will creativaty work in reassembly as well.
Any insight is greatly appreciated. it will be great if i wont have to call the local ford dealer to get those tools. found the prices of the rotunda tools online.. wow! they are proud of those arent they!
Thanks
