I Have 95 4x4 Ranger With 115000 Easy Miles On It And I Am On Clutch Number 4. Same Issue Every Time Throw-out Bearing Slash Slave Cylender Fails. Is There An Aftermarket Clucth That Is More Durable? If So Who Makes It

Wow bubb! 4th clutch? either you suck at driving a standard or who ever is doing the work and replacement parts is a **** up and is screwing you over. Ide be layering up at this point if I was you. And either have a MotorCraft replacement put in or def get a good after market one, cuz they do make performance clutches for Rangers. Just depends on how much money you really want to spend.

don't suck at driving a clutch i have never had to replace one in the last 27 years of driving. first clutch failed a 68000 next before 75000 next before 82000 now again at 115000. always the slave cylinder failing. what would cause the slave to fail?

If you have the same shop putting them in then its their fault, but if not then I really don't know. Keep an eye on the guy doing the work and know exactly what brand of parts he's using.

it has been three different shops and a ford dealer. next one i am doing. wondering if they are not replacing the pilot bearing? could be the difference. maybe a bent input shaft? i am at a loss. to say the least i am not hard on a vehical i just replaced the front brakes on this truck about two months ago and i am still running the original rear shoes. maybe i should drive the thing harder

go to a ford dealer you can trust because a clutch doesnt cost much, i got my replaced nice and easy, labor may cost some,

try rev matching your clutch when down shifting, prevents less wear and tear
