i think you got a extra/wrong throwout, the bearing is already on the slave, ir so it looks like it is in the pics

Throwout is on the slave cylinder like stated above, the very last thing on the input shaft.

What transmission is that?

I'm hoping to get me a hydraulic throwout bearing like that, and swap it into my Jeep.

Oh... and if you don't have the transmission installed yet, can you tell me how deep the bellhousing is?

Thanks,
Drew

thanks all for the help guys its all in and it works fine.

its a ZF S542 5speed
its a internal slave out of a 88 f350 with a 351.
i got it from summit tho the stock one leaked bad
i think early 90's rangers have the same setup? i could be wrong

i installed it already so i cant measure it but i would guess 10-12 inched deep

i think early 90's rangers have the same setup? i could be wrong


That slave looks EXACTLY like the one that went into my '90 Bronco II with the FM-146 trans, so it's very possible.

x2 i got the 89 fm146 and it looks the same

Do you (or any one) still have the "dead" throw out bearing? I'd like to get my hands on one to see what I'm dealing with.......

I'm not sure how much faith you want to put into www.partsamerica.com website, but they agree with you. A whole lot of the Ford trucks use this throw out bearing....

I've never seen the throwout bearing replaceable like that sold in my local parts stores, you always have to buy the slave to get them on Ford internal slave units that is for the Mazda and ZF series.

huh? hydraulic throwout bearing? Its a internal slave with the bearing mounted on it. IMHO internals suck as once they start to take a dump you have to pull the tranny as compared to externals 2 bolts and a line and you are done.

I started my search calling it an internal slave cylinder, but then I was "corrected" that it's a hydraulic throw out bearing.

I see it as an internal slave cylinder and a throw out bearing too. But I was tired of getting caught up in the terminology, and not getting the information I wanted.

I've heard the reputation of the internal slave failings. There seems to be just as many stories of them lasting forever. I have no real experience to know how often it's going to go out. Dropping the transmission in the jeep is not a problem. It's actually quite easy, and it's no more of a hassle than if the clutch disk needs replacing. I'd like to keep the frequency down to a minimum, of course.

The area around my clutch fork is cluttered by the down pipe of the exhaust, and the brake proportioning valve. Adding an external slave cylinder doesn't seem to help.

It's just something I'm chasing. I don't have a lot of faith in my mechanical set up. It's never let me down, but it seems clumsy. It's something on my jeep, that I look at and say "there has to be a better way".

More often than not, they crap out because of dirt or old cruddy fluid in the system.

Replace the slave (and flush out the master & reservoir) when you do the clutch, and it's very doubtful you'd have a problem during the lifetime of the clutch you just installed.
