M50D-R1 REMOVAL PROCEDURES
Thank you in advance for your help.
I have a 1994, 2.3L, 2WD (ranger), with a M50D-R1 (2WD Version) with 180K miles.
I need information about parts, tools, and procedures in removing a M50D-R1 Transmission.
I would like to replace the Slave Cylinder because I am having troubles shifting in and out of first gear as well as reverse. The reservoir of the Slave was bone dry (explaining the oil spots on the driveway and poor action with clutch pedal). As I topped off the reservoir things improved. The clutch pedal began to respond while easily engaging first gear but, reverse is still a grind..
With that, I believe it would be wise to replace the clutch and throw-out bearing while I replace the slave; since I’m there.
At this point, should I consider replacing the synchronizers? (I don’t have much time, money, or experience). ….Because things still grind as I select reverse.
In addition, could someone suggest what parts I will need? For example:
1) I am going to replace the rail plugs.
2) Slave Kit
3) Clutch Kit (do clutch kits come with a slave?)
4) What about the syncros? Is this covered in a “Brass and Bearing” Kit (What is a brass and bearing kit?).
5) Do I need exhaust flanges?
6) U-joints
7) Seals?
Someone please set me straight.
Next, any special tools needed? Trans jack?, 13mm sockets, wrenches, lock ring pliers, or a torch?
Finally, how do I remove the transmission (by the numbers)? And how do I reinstall the transmission?
Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.
