Clutch

[TheFordIdentity]

I'm drawing ever closer to having to change my entire cluth assembly due to a ****ed up throwout bearing... I was wondering, 1. What else I should change while trannys off and what all i'll need? 2. Does a regular clutch kit from autozone include everything? 3. Do I need/have a pilot bearing is that supplied in clutch kit? 4. If I get my flywheel resurfaced will this shorten it's life? 5. Truck has 150,000 miles, should I change my slave cylinder, will I be able to tell if damage has been done to it or be able to test it? 6. Can I use ATF Fluid in it or just a heavy wt. gear oil? 7. Do I need a special tool to change the rear main seal, is it complicated? 8. Holy ****, was this long or what, my apologies, I'm not to experienced with trannys, especially my own. Thanks in advance for any possible help. (91 F150, 5-speed, 5.0, 2WD, Single cab, victim of abuse)

Howdy, did the exact same truck (300six) myself when I was a freshman in highschool. And once again on my 92 bronco. I have used centerforce clutches and they had everything I needed. You should be able to get 2-3 machinings out of a flywheel and still be in spec. I did the slave cylinder on the bronco, and would recomend it's replacement as a "might as well". I like Mercon ATF in the mazda 5. I never changed a rear main seal, sorry...

Not too bad of a job on the older trucks (dreading the clutch replacement on the 97) and it being a 4x2 makes it even simpler. Get a Haynes manual and just follow along.

The rear main is a notorious PIA in those trucks but you may luck out that you have a 2wd. On a 4wd it is next too impossible to get the oil pan off and back on without pulling the engine. That being said yes I am 99% sure the oil pan has to come off to change it but I don't think it is that big a deal especially since you have the tranny out of the way.
