On my 84 Ranger v6 2.8l 4x4 I have a problem on the shaft that the throw out bearring rides on. I had another mechanic install a new Fenco clutch kit and a just after I started it the clutch felt like it had gone bad again. I dissasembled it again and found that he had installed the throw out bearing backward. I then got another kit and installed it myself and it only worked 2 days before the bearing locked up on the shaft and the fork blew through in the center. After this I discovered that the master cyl was bad. Upon replacing it and getting a 3rd kit installed, it lasted only 2 days again. I then realized that the shaft had been damaged and the clutch was power slipping. I need to know how to get just the release shaft off of the tranny. It has a 5 speed manual transmission. I was told by schucks that they were replaceable on most transmissions, only I can't see any bolts holding it in place or anything. Is it just a locking clip or something? Anyhow I have gotten a 4th kit and am stuck trying to figure this out. Unfortunatly the chiltons is not offering anny help in that matter so please, if anyone knows or has any suggestions other than replacing the entire tranny, let me know asap so I can get it back on the road. Thanks to anybody offering helpfull info. It is greatly appreciated.
