Ranger 2WD V6-245 4.0L VIN X SFI (1997)
INSTALLATION
1. Both new and used clutch cover assemblies should always be adjusted to their new installation position before vehicle installation to ensure that
the compressed adjusting ring actuation spring is approximately 14 mm as in A. If not, the cover assembly should be placed on a drill press table
and the diaphragm fingers depressed to their released position using a simulated release bearing as shown in B. Minimal pressure in a counter
clockwise direction should then be exerted on the adjusting ring in one or more locations to compress the adjusting ring springs to the desired 14
mm of compressed thickness.
CAUTION: Do not force the adjusting ring. Additional pressure may be required on the diaphragm fingers if the adjusting ring does not turn
readily.
NOTE:
^
Clean clutch pressure plate and flywheel with a suitable commercial alcohol base solvent so surfaces are free from any oil film.
^
Do not use cleaners with a petroleum base. Do not immerse the clutch pressure plate in the solvent.
^
It is not necessary to service as a set if procedure below is followed.
