Well, I should have all my parts (tranny included) by next weekend, which is a 3-day weekend for me, so that's the plan i guess. Unless more comes in.

Question!! Can i replace JUST the slave cylinder with the factory setup? I can't seem to find anything about this. I don't really want to replace the entire assembly, unless that's my only option...

Thoughts?

 

I'm missing something. Clutch slave cylinder?

 

Yessir. From the factory the clutch slave, hydro line, and master are all one sealed unit, and expensive to replace. I think I am just gonna have to bite the bullet on this one... I might change over to the aftermarket 3 piece setup though.

 

Never saw one that is "one piece." I have an automatic so I cannot envision waht that would look like. I recently replaced slave and master cylinders on my Yota....I would have thought it would be similar. Micht check Rock Auto or someplace and see waht they have. If master cyl is good, I don't see much reason to replace.

It's cheaper to replace the whole thing then switch to a 3 piece bleedable setup, so I guess I will do that......

 

That looks like a wierd beast. Bleeding mine was a challenge...my wife could barely reach the pedal....

 

^^^ Haha that must've been fun. I ended up ordering the whole assembly, along with a water pump, it's little heater bypass tube thingey, oil pump, and valve cover gaskets from summit.

 

Well I had this afternoon to tinker, but I am waiting on parts, so I worked on the little stuff, and did some little touches I've been too lazy to get to.



I pulled my transfer case apart further (some of you saw my thread on that) to put the syncro hub spring back in it's place.



While I was in there I discovered that the planetary shift fork is in bad shape. The plastic guides are long gone, and the fork has been worn down by the shift ring as a result. Just one more thing to order!



Also, cleaned up all the gasket mating surfaces. I will hit them again with brake cleaner (valves and rocker arms too) and a wire brush before reassembly.



Also pulled the monstrosity of chrome that somebody in Texas thought passed for a bumper off. My friend in the pictures has been helping me all weekend.



Don't worry those tail lights are on the trash list too.



Lastly is the picture of both my toys, but I took the stupid chrome step bars off the side of the truck.

 

Looks kind of funny...you standing in the engine bay....lol

And those HUGE chrome bumpers wer a fad back in the 80's Not so much lately. I ahted following someone with ne of those (but I had one way back when on a F250 diesel...)

 

HELP!!! The truck's eating me!!!






Oh wait. It just wants my wallet.
