Think it's time for a new clutch, 1988 2.9 4wd. I believe I have fm146 transmission. Is like to replace the clutch and flywheel. Anyone have a suggestion or link to a good one. Are they transmission specific? Ebay sells a bunch of different ones and "stages" I just want one that can handle a stock drivetrain and oversized tires. Thanks in advance!

Nice truck. I usually go with Luk, but have had good luck with others too. No need to get anything fancy, a stock replacement will be fine in your case. You can probably have the flywheel resurfaced for $20-30 at a machine shop, save some cash there.

If you want a bigger clutch with more holding power, consider one for a 4.0. It is a little more involved but worth the swap - details here:

I put a LuK RepSet (I think was the name, just your basic replacement clutch) 4.0L clutch on my '90 2.9L. One of the better mods I've done. The pedal feel is much better with the 4.0L clutch as well (not short & grabby like stock clutches are).

Well worth the mod if you can handle a small bit of rewiring for the starter.

Definitely going to look in to this 4.0 mod. Looks straight forward enough. Thanks for the input.

Does this look correct for the swap?
